The Grand Duchy of Kainiz is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 22.208 billion Kainizians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kainiz City. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Kainizian economy, worth 517 trillion kainizian pilits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,295 kainizian pilits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, the Kainizian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Kainiz in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kainiz's national animal is the kainizian bakit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kainiz is ranked 195,385^th in the world and 10,526^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
