The Eternal Horde of Moukden and Kirin is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Charlie Kirin with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.091 billion Kirinians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shenyang. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kirinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,493 trillion TaloCoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 184,581 TaloCoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,658,060 per year while the poor average 2,594, a ratio of 639 to 1.

It takes all playtime for children to locate their friends among two hundred identical heads, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the mouth-frothing Kirinian can be confused for a rabid EVA Unit-02, and the wheel has been patented by at least a hundred people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Moukden and Kirin's national animal is the EVA Unit-02, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Frontierism.

Moukden and Kirin is ranked 31,393^rd in the world and 34^th in Talonia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 20,705.19 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
