The Xenodochial Republic of Kiani is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ziana Kaspanova with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 5.467 billion Kianians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kianiazo. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kianian economy, worth 840 trillion Plus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,716 Plus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

End-of-year production reports state that the revolution is really going with a bang, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and some paycheques only arrive every 12 to 24 weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kiani's national animal is the Dragonfrog, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Xenodochia.

Kiani is ranked 8,246^th in the world and 235^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,885.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
