The Majestic Syndicate Order of Klaus Devestatorie is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Syndicate-Sovereign Avakael Imperialia with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.503 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperialia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, military spending recently hit a new high, and city sidewalks are crowded with overweight people. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Klaus Devestatorie's national animal is the White Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Imperialian Christianity, and its currency is the Halicarnassus.

Klaus Devestatorie is ranked 534th in Region Inc and 94,273rd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -276 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
