The Pirate Archipelago Nation of Kayestha is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Gokai Decade with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.31 billion Kayesthas hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollstein. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kayesthan economy, worth 261 trillion Hydras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 79,074 Hydras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hymns sung by popular choirs top the billboard charts, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kayestha's national animal is the Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tokuism.

Kayestha is ranked 224,382^nd in the world and 182^nd in Karma for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
