The Armed Republic of Kazaros is a tiny, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9 million Kazarosians 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 enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair Kazarosian economy, worth 280 billion Kazan Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,205 Kazan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, children often kick King Vultures for amusement, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, and aid workers deliver life-saving supplies with a devious gleam in their eyes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kazaros's national animal is the King Vulture .

Kazaros is ranked 137,253^rd in the world and 66^th in Africa for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 711.98 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
