The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of KiRbY0508 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mikili Zhija with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.955 billion Kiryans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lizh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kiryan economy, worth 534 trillion Yaings a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 107,808 Yaings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 425,091 per year while the poor average 18,534, a ratio of 22.9 to 1.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, the fattest folk in KiRbY0508 look to be the happiest ones, and trade is bringing a wide selection of strange resources and technologies into KiRbY0508 although importers have the highest mortality rate in the nation (KiRbY0508 has found 1 easter egg). Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. KiRbY0508's national animal is the Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

KiRbY0508 is ranked 75,167th in the world and 895th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 68.75 on the Human Development Index.
