“Für König, Volk und Vaterland”

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

The Commonwealth of Kasdonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Leopold Heinrich von Kronenburg with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 3.282 billion Kasdonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crown Falls. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kasdonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,050 trillion Kasds 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 Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, 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 an amazing 320,041 Kasds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kasdonia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Evangelisch Lutheranisch.

Kasdonia is ranked 126,182^nd in the world and 8^th in Aros Elyium for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 930.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
