The State of Kasaba is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and national health service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 43.251 billion Kasabans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kasaban economy, worth a remarkable 1,444 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,393 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is reigning in public spending, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, gambling is outlawed, and Kasaba has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Kasaba's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kasaba is ranked 60,973^rd in the world and 1^st in Kasaba for Largest Black Market, with 9.11 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
