The People's Republic of Kajushka is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 483 million Kajushkans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kardovsk. The average income tax rate is 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kajushkan economy, worth 28.0 trillion Kuis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,944 Kuis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

There's more pink stuff on sale these days, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art, and summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kajushka's national animal is the Sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kajushka is ranked 122,424^th in the world and 2^nd in Yumarkan Commonwealth for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,706.21 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
