The Holy Commonwealth of Kasdados is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Tsar Alexi II or Konstantin Patmos with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 4.91 billion Kasdadosiites are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syksos. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The powerhouse Kasdadosi economy, worth 487 trillion Estas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,329 Estas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, and tribal villagers hide behind the sofa when missionaries knock at their doors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kasdados's national animal is the Elaphon Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Syksos Orthodoxy.

Kasdados is ranked 9,699^th in the world and 30^th in Christians for Most Cultured, scoring 116 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
