The Thalassocratic Commonwealth of Kiravian Islands is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.303 billion Kiravian Islanders are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Healthcare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The powerhouse Insular Kiravian economy, worth 853 trillion saars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 46,654 saars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,737 per year while the poor average 7,825, a ratio of 23.9 to 1.

Foreign militaries are taking a particular interest in the nation's abandoned borders and cities, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, road rage is rarer but more terminal now that many people drive fully-operational battle tanks to work, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kiravian Islands's national animal is the storm petrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kiravian Islands is ranked 158,746th in the world and 10th in Island for Most Developed, scoring 54.92 on the Human Development Index.
