The Twin republics of Kaonas is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by left Auterun Right Retrid with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.139 billion Kaonasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felsinsel. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kaonasian economy, worth 651 trillion Chits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,153 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaonas's national animal is the Saltwater Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kaonas is ranked 32,967^th in the world and 2,123^rd in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 803.9 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
