The Halaḥa of Kosher is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Rabbi Hillel with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, complete lack of prisons, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.589 billion mashgiaḥim 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yerushalayim. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient kosher economy, worth a remarkable 1,173 trillion heḥshers a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,765 heḥshers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, citizens often glare angrily at jet contrails, and anyone who so much as looks at Royalty without the proper amount of deference is punished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kosher's national animal is the kid in its mother's milk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is kashrut.

Kosher is ranked 260,938th in the world and 26th in Seinfeld for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.1 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
