The Halaḥa of Kosher is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Rabbi Hillel with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.427 billion mashgiaḥim 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yerushalayim. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient kosher economy, worth a remarkable 1,165 trillion heḥshers a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,765 heḥshers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, citizens often glare angrily at jet contrails, and anyone who so much as looks at Royalty without the proper amount of deference is punished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kosher's national animal is the kid in its mother's milk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is kashrut.
Kosher is ranked 11,158th in the world and 13th in Seinfeld for Most Stationary, with 2,188.3334258546 days.
