The Empathetic Democracy of Kagetori is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Amélie Desséchée with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.466 billion Kagetorians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avadelphia. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kagetorian economy, worth 209 trillion Kagetorian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 84,975 Kagetorian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Amélie Desséchée spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, Kagetorian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kagetori's national animal is the Eurasian hobby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kagetori is ranked 74,378^th in the world and 2^nd in Radio Dead Airheads for Highest Economic Output, with 209 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
