The Great Pretender of Kakastania is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by High Priest Kendall III with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.427 billion Crackers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krackee. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Crackerish economy, worth 846 trillion Slaves a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 156,034 Slaves, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,257,678 per year while the poor average 4,398, a ratio of 285 to 1.

Boys are forced to pair off for the school disco slow dance as the girls are all staying at home, late night talk show hosts are having a field day over High Priest Kendall III's questionably sane new coalition partners, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, and a petition to make petitions important again has been deemed unimportant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kakastania's national animal is the Crackerish Heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Crackerism.

Kakastania is ranked 166,219^th in the world and 5^th in Reqau and Salasia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 189.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
