The Salted Fields of Kakastania is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by High Priest Kendall III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.539 billion Crackers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education and Administration are also considered important, while Law & Order and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krackee. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Crackerish economy, worth a remarkable 3,376 trillion saltines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 320,384 saltines, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,184,184 per year while the poor average 61,101, a ratio of 19.4 to 1.

Legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the transition from trojan horses to regular old horses is on track, and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kakastania's national animal is the Easter Bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Crackerism.

Kakastania is ranked 74,364th in the world and 5th in Liberlandia for Most Developed, scoring 69 on the Human Development Index.
