The Empire of Kylan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Nacldir with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, aversion to nipples, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.7 billion Kylanians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amelia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kylanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,316 trillion Thaurens a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 280,091 Thaurens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,003,826 per year while the poor average 56,049, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.

Withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, scientific ethics are on the chopping block, fat-shaming is now public policy, and citizens may now wear shoes while watching television as long as the television is outside and the shoes are rental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kylan's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kylan is ranked 18,723^rd in the world and 1^st in Comicaria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,196.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
