The Empire of Kaidok is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.886 billion Kaidokians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Kaidokian economy, worth 65.8 trillion calories a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 22,788 calories, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, and janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaidok's national animal is the spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kaidok is ranked 49,217th in the world and 2,953rd in Balder for Most Pacifist, with 104.35 cheeks turned per day.
