The Khanate of Keshtostan is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Khan with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 972 million Keshtians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qashtah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Keshtian economy, worth 142 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 146,743 dinars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 593,778 per year while the poor average 24,173, a ratio of 24.6 to 1.

Women often give birth before they can even get an abortion procedural form, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, and exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keshtostan's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Keshtostan is ranked 24,296^th in the world and 15^th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,108.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
