The Republic of Kashiranda is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 17.766 billion Kashirandans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.7%.

The thriving Kashirandan economy, worth a remarkable 1,556 trillion bytecoins 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 87,609 bytecoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 276,030 per year while the poor average 21,260, a ratio of 13.0 to 1.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, the fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Kashiranda, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kashiranda's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kashiranda is ranked 232,992^nd in the world and 11^th in Homestead for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
