The Federal Republic of Kasa is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 564 million Kasans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.0%.

The Kasan economy, worth 24.3 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,151 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime is moderate. Kasa's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Kasa is ranked 213,188^th in the world and 18^th in Griffonia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 290.87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
