The Kingdom of Kesho is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by His Lordship Marlow with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.482 billion Keshoans 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 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 Kandal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Keshoan economy, worth 514 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 207,256 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 595,083 per year while the poor average 57,399, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Citizens are spontaneously attracted to each other, relations with Merovingia are as cold as Kesho's high-security cell blocks, labour strikes are routinely squashed by police, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Kandal to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kesho's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kesho is ranked 111,038th in the world and 212th in Communitas for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,455.11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
