The Commonwealth of Kazakovia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Albert Faust with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.193 billion Kazakovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bositana. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kazakovic economy, worth a remarkable 2,256 trillion kazaris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 185,065 kazaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Staffers take uppers in the old upper house chamber, mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kazakovia's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kazakovia is ranked 39,546th in the world and 2,248th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,757.74 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
