The Dictatorship of Kastaceopia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.184 billion Kastaceopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kastaceopian economy, worth 173 trillion pendants a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 146,220 pendants, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,241,386 per year while the poor average 3,103, a ratio of 400 to 1.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em", from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Kastaceopia, and foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Kastaceopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kastaceopia's national animal is the camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kastaceopia is ranked 316,303rd in the world and 648th in Communitas for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -10 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
