The Kingdom of Kesho is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by His Lordship Marlow with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.663 billion Keshoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kandal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Keshoan economy, worth 549 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 206,227 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 598,984 per year while the poor average 56,202, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, the government endows universities based on clearly demonstrated greed, the nation thinks the universe revolves around them, and colonels love the smell of trash in the morning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kesho's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kesho is ranked 16,880^th in the world and 17^th in Communitas for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,021.84 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
