The Dominion of IKINGCAKE is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by iKINGCAKE with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.474 billion Cakians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Cakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,568 trillion Cakes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,376 Cakes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 361,917 per year while the poor average 24,143, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

Equality looks curiously unequal, students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IKINGCAKE's national animal is the Habberdasher.

IKINGCAKE is ranked 10,534th in the world and 2nd in Yarnia for Most Stationary, with 2,284.32286442132 days.
