The Golden Lands of Kingdom of Khesda is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Yhort III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.466 billion Khesdans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yhort Hukkenburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Khesdan economy, worth a remarkable 7,927 trillion gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 588,679 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-gold coin mansions, the might of the entire Khesdan Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, and the 3rd Airborne Beekeepers are the most feared regiment in the Khesdan military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Khesda's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kingdom of Khesda is ranked 3,989^th in the world and 1^st in Panasian Confederation for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 12,843.11 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
