The Kingdom of Kazdestan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Leopold II with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.549 billion Kazdestanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Regiaeopolis. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kazdestanian economy, worth 446 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,191 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and war vets look after war animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kazdestan's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kazdestan is ranked 152,624^th in the world and 877^th in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,471.86 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
