The Celestial Empire of Keraiza is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dieudonné Théodore with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.401 billion Keraizans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icic. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.0%.

The powerhouse Keraizan economy, worth 130 trillion Metal Scales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 93,121 Metal Scales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,406 per year while the poor average 21,002, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

The legal system for the political class is completely separate from the one for normal citizens, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, getting your license is a rite of passage for young adults, and government officials raid public buildings to remove all mention of G*d or r******n. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keraiza's national animal is the Keruku, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Keraiza is ranked 230,263^rd in the world and 16^th in The North Hydo Islands for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -15.16 on the Hayek Index.
