The Pirate Archipelago Nation of Kayestha is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gokai Decade with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 12.131 billion Kayesthas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollstein. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kayesthan economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion Hydras a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,403 Hydras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The atmosphere in Kayesthan boardrooms is turning more gay, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime is totally unknown. Kayestha's national animal is the Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tokuism.

Kayestha is ranked 28,177^th in the world and 48^th in Karma for Most Cultured, scoring 80 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
