The ペコペコ of Kerlodia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kaz with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.736 billion Kerlodis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Deep Underground. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kerlodi economy, worth 488 trillion Headpats a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,659 Headpats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, and in distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerlodia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Acceptance.

Kerlodia is ranked 101,218^th in the world and 4,141^st in the South Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,622.71 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
