The Golden Lands of Kingdom of Khesda is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Yhort III with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.357 billion Khesdans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yhort Hukkenburg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Khesdan economy, worth a remarkable 7,834 trillion gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 586,579 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, foreign leaders who don't applaud King Yhort III's speeches are regarded as enemies of Kingdom of Khesda, and requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Khesda's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kingdom of Khesda is ranked 465^th in the world and 1^st in Panasian Confederation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 201.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
