The Xenodochial Republic of Kiani is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ziana Kaspanova with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.526 billion Kianians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kianiazo. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,555 trillion Plus 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 significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,263 Plus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Ziana Kaspanova, the nation has dismantled its entire WMD arsenal, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and people say chess victor Ziana Kaspanova can kill you with mind-bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kiani's national animal is the Dragonfrog, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Xenodochia.

Kiani is ranked 3,634^th in the world and 101^st in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 230.95 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
