The Democratic Republic of The Kazintir Mandate is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by General Onera Mel with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.257 billion Kazintireans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HQ ASS. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kazintirean economy, worth 320 trillion blue zints a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 142,217 blue zints, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 745,638 per year while the poor average 14,528, a ratio of 51.3 to 1.

Diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing, The Kazintir Mandate is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and work creation schemes keep the masses occupied with meaningless tasks. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Kazintir Mandate's national animal is the manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Kazintir Mandate is ranked 244,024^th in the world and 4,002^nd in eta for Fattest Citizens, with 7.66 Obesity Rate.
