The Onward Light of Kaschovia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Albus Karelka III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, daily referendums, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.337 billion Kaschovians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaiseva. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kaschovian economy, worth a remarkable 3,792 trillion Kaschis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 307,424 Kaschis, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Albus Karelka III steals from the rich and gives to the needy, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kaschovia's national animal is the Kulevian Butterfly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kaschovia is ranked 299,335^th in the world and 5,945^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3.53 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
