The Most Serene Republic of Kirion is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 396 million Krinoes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirion City. The average income tax rate is 32.7%.

The thriving Kirionian economy, worth 38.2 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,467 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, blue bloods are welcome in Kirion, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and civil engineers are undermining sinkholes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kirion's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kirion is ranked 109,658^th in the world and 1,601^st in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,618.56 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
