The Empire of Khaedland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by his benevolent Wosley with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.059 billion Khaedlandians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khaedland City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Khaedlandian economy, worth 550 trillion quims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 90,903 quims, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 332,927 per year while the poor average 17,587, a ratio of 18.9 to 1.

Rumor has it that his benevolent Wosley has won three lotteries in a row, the fattest folk in Khaedland look to be the happiest ones, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and cigarettes are dead-cheap. Crime is moderate. Khaedland's national animal is the Ten foot box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Wosleyism.

Khaedland is ranked 226,975^th in the world and 9,042^nd in Balder for Safest, scoring 25.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
