The Commonwealth of Kesnisau and Sofrijan is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.945 billion Sotnoey are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaharyn. The average income tax rate is 66.9%.

The powerhouse Sotnoey economy, worth 454 trillion Kopers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,945 Kopers, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, and all music has been banned. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kesnisau and Sofrijan's national animal is the Sable, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kesnisau and Sofrijan is ranked 194,427^th in the world and 35^th in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,434.02 Standard Monetary Units.
