The Golden Lands of Kingdom of Khesda is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King Yhort III with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.487 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 an astonishing 12,020 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, fairly 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 650,194 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive, Khesdan soldiers are assured their new ray-guns will finally power up after the next round of ominous chanting, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. 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 31^st in the world and 1^st in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 221,456.25 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
