The Armed Republic of Kakaristan is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.168 billion Kakaristanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kakaristanian economy, worth 100 trillion Pulks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,008 Pulks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, patriots insist that size does matter, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, and mandatory spouse selection pairs elderly apparatchiki with stunningly beautiful supermodels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kakaristan's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kakaristan is ranked 51,986^th in the world and 63^rd in KAISERREICH for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 596.53 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
