The Eternal Empire of Keldros is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Caesar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.237 billion Keldrosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Groznygrad. The average income tax rate is 36.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Keldrosian economy, worth a remarkable 9,287 trillion gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 437,309 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Famous artwork is regularly confiscated for plagiarism, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, security reviews double as corporate marketing, and graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Keldros's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Keldros is ranked 312,372nd in the world and 1st in Altmora for Nicest Citizens, with 0.11 average smiles per day.
