The Commonwealth of Kazakovia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Albert Faust with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.288 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 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kazakovic economy, worth a remarkable 2,284 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 Retail. 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 185,944 kazaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, public urination is on the increase, serial killers are the country's biggest import, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. 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 10,749th in the world and 624th in Balder for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,741.88 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
