Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Kempasu is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 652 million Kempans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sepia Prefecture. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kempasuan economy, worth 59.8 trillion Bills a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,703 Bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, Leader claims to be the epitome of family values, only adults may purchase violent video games, and a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kempasu's national animal is the DQ, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kempasu is ranked 43,012^th in the world and 3^rd in Gestalt for Most Patriotic, with 30.77 flags saluted per person per day.
