The Congressional Republic of Kesta is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 8.155 billion Kestans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Kestan economy, worth 171 trillion silver saars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,090 silver saars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kesta's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, extreme political groups are outlawed, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kesta's national animal is the liger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kesta is ranked 94,276^th in the world and 9^th in Island for Largest Populations, with 8.15 billion capita.
