The Dictatorship of Killondir is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Ceades with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.003 billion Killondirians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deathra. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.7%.

The all-consuming Killondirian economy, worth 127 trillion Bear Bloods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 126,982 Bear Bloods, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 515,899 per year while the poor average 20,777, a ratio of 24.8 to 1.

Imperator Ceades is the self-declared God of all Killondir, billions of Bear Bloods are spent to take high-quality photos of the Bear Nebula, the Killondir Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and warfare increasingly resembles a video game. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Killondir's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Killondir is ranked 291,171st in the world and 11,142nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 22.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
