The State of Kasba Lake is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.418 billion Kasba Lakeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Kasba Lakean economy, worth a remarkable 1,299 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 45,731 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,919 per year while the poor average 2,457, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kasba Lake's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kasba Lake is ranked 5,429^th in the world and 6^th in Brasilia for Largest Populations, with 28.4 billion capita.
