The Kingdom of Kesho is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by His Lordship Marlow with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.54 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 50.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Keshoan economy, worth 521 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 205,301 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 632,932 per year while the poor average 51,410, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

Jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, commuters regularly break the sound barrier -- and several bones, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. 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 266,105^th in the world and 518^th in Communitas for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 465.48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
