The Common Kingdom of Kasantia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Villem III with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.938 billion Kasantians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athenia. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kasantian economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion Drahmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 117,198 Drahmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, the official Kasantian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kasantia's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kasantian Old Gods.

Kasantia is ranked 22,572nd in the world and 1,313th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,690.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
