The Dictatorship of Kastaceopia is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.232 billion Kastaceopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kastaceopian economy, worth 182 trillion pendants a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 148,521 pendants, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,205,835 per year while the poor average 4,039, a ratio of 298 to 1.

Airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, crying babies are told to grow up, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for camel sacrifices, and churches frequently hold public 'contraception burnings'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kastaceopia's national animal is the camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kastaceopia is ranked 321,101^st in the world and 664^th in Communitas for Nicest Citizens, with 0.4 average smiles per day.
