The Empire of Khosrau is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor-Naip Khavad II Anushirawan-Alore with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.857 billion Khosrauans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ctesiphon. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khosrauan economy, worth 634 trillion Darics a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,677 Darics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Ctesiphon, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and career advisors ask sociopathic orphan girls if they have considered becoming professional assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khosrau's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dariushism.

Khosrau is ranked 58,694^th in the world and 63^rd in The Hole To Hide In for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,421.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
