The Great Empire of Kandorith is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hideko Fujiwara with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 37.242 billion Kandorese enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Education and Defense are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenkyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kandorese economy, worth an astonishing 17,315 trillion Zais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 464,937 Zais, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,179,391 per year while the poor average 6,494, a ratio of 643 to 1.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Kandorith. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kandorith's national animal is the Kudokin Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tendo.

Kandorith is ranked 328,904^th in the world and 4,708^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -14.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
