The People's Republic of New Kisha is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Valère-Klemens Perrault with a fair hand, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.796 billion Kishans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Kisha. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kishan economy, worth 841 trillion Aurons 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, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 175,424 Aurons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, nude art is becoming wildly popular, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Fort Kisha Arctic Foxes against long odds, and the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kisha's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

New Kisha is ranked 2,288^th in the world and 108^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 67.46 average smiles per day.
