The Sultanate of Kessle-dgmar is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.669 billion Kessle-dgmarians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.0%.

The powerhouse Kessle-dgmarian economy, worth 419 trillion marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,835 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Leader's office, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kessle-dgmar's national animal is the trout, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Kessle-dgmar is ranked 224,320^th in the world and 1,343^rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
