The Great Empire of Kandorith is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Yoshiro Murakami with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 32.105 billion Kandorese enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Education and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenkyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kandorese economy, worth an astonishing 15,910 trillion Zais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 495,568 Zais, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, neighboring nations are tired of Kandorith's big fish stories, one can wake up in Kandorith and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Kandorith's national animal is the Kudokin Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tendo.

Kandorith is ranked 2,874^th in the world and 116^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 65.81 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
