The Democratic Federation of Kaldu is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Senkurru bit Khamourabi with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.433 billion Kashdim are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babilim. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kashdu economy, worth 731 trillion kaspus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 164,944 kaspus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Kaldu will pay them to stop, there's a mortuary next to every Kashdu restaurant, and the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaldu's national animal is the cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kinutuism.

Kaldu is ranked 5,621^st in the world and 117^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
