The Republic of Kedrovy is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 978 million Kedrovyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kedrovyian economy, worth 109 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,586 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kedrovy's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kedrovy is ranked 245,218^th in the world and 336^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -6.03 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
