The United Democratic Republic of Kawther is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Yassir Hussein with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 25.632 billion Kawtherians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qutheria. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kawtherian economy, worth a remarkable 6,272 trillion Quths a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,694 Quths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kawther's national animal is the Andalusian Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Kawther is ranked 2,410^th in the world and 3^rd in United Empire of Islam for Most Pacifist, with 172.91 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
