The Protectorate of Kush State is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning turtle population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.151 billion Kush Stateans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.7%.

The very strong Kush Statean economy, worth 856 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 44,715 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 136,596 per year while the poor average 11,345, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Kush State's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kush State is ranked 158,117^th in the world and 2^nd in Liberty Alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,459.33 Standard Monetary Units.
