The Eternal Empire of Keldros is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Caesar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, otherworldly petting zoo, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.059 billion Keldrosians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Groznygrad. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Keldrosian economy, worth a remarkable 9,165 trillion gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 435,238 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Death is nobody's business, bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Caesar's office, taxmen are issued platinum-cap designer boots to kick bankrupted Keldrosians when they're down, and apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Keldros's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Keldros is ranked 1,622^nd in the world and 1^st in Altmora for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 93,885.49 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
