The Golden Lands of Kingdom of Khesda is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Yhort III with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.51 billion Khesdans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yhort Hukkenburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Khesdan economy, worth an astonishing 12,035 trillion gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 650,202 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, severed limbs litter woodland edges across the land, and male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Khesda's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kingdom of Khesda is ranked 309,604^th in the world and 37^th in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Most Cultured, scoring -74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
