The Republic of Kaoro is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 296 million Kaoroans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kaoroan economy, worth 10.1 trillion Kaoroan Dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,097 Kaoroan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaoro's national animal is the Enemy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kaoro is ranked 194,757^th in the world and 7,917^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
