The Colony of Kage-Kuba is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 17.957 billion Kage-Kubans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.9%.

The Kage-Kuban economy, worth 858 trillion hinodejin crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 47,809 hinodejin crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kage-Kuba's national animal is the crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Kage-Kuba is ranked 90,309^th in the world and 46^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,394.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
