The Tyrannical Federation of Kazanqa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Affe with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.038 billion Monkeys are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Käseaffe. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Monkey economy, worth 194 trillion Kzeros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,618 Kzeros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, the act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing', lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, and school guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kazanqa's national animal is the Blue Starred Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Monkeism.

Kazanqa is ranked 238,285th in the world and 5,474th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -8.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
