The Pirate Archipelago Nation of Kayestha is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gokai Decade with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.591 billion Kayesthas hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollstein. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kayesthan economy, worth 387 trillion Hydras a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,400 Hydras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has legalised small-scale capitalism, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Kayesthan Space Agency, property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities, and sex changes are routinely performed at Kayestha's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kayestha's national animal is the Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tokuism.

Kayestha is ranked 74,206^th in the world and 32^nd in Karma for Most Politically Free, scoring 74.29 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
