The Empire of Khosrau is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor-Naip Khavad II Anushirawan-Alore with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.104 billion Khosrauans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ctesiphon. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khosrauan economy, worth 642 trillion Darics a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,802 Darics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Ctesiphon, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and career advisors ask sociopathic orphan girls if they have considered becoming professional assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khosrau's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dariushism.

Khosrau is ranked 30,846^th in the world and 41^st in The Hole To Hide In for Highest Economic Output, with 642 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
