The Hangate of Kilat is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Rasta Hang with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.971 billion Kilatis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amantapurna. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Kilati economy, worth 414 trillion kanamartis a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,557 kanamartis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, and when their backs are against the walls Kilatis look out for gay men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kilat's national animal is the giant yak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kilatese Syncretism.

Kilat is ranked 150,090th in the world and 74th in The Western Isles for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 521.67 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
