The Kaiserriech of Kyavan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaiser Franz Ulmer IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.1 billion Kyavanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jadotgrad. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kyavanian economy, worth 121 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,194 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Kyavan to be bombproof, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyavan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Orthodoxy.

Kyavan is ranked 4,948^th in the world and 100^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 21 Valid Endorsements.
