The State of Kashong is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.149 billion Kashongians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Kashongian economy, worth 790 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 34,169 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,313 per year while the poor average 1,835, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Kashong has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Kashong in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kashong's national animal is the deer.

Kashong is ranked 93,208^th in the world and 4^th in Banjul for Most Primitive, scoring 7.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
