The Kingdom of Kaskalma is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Charles III with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.701 billion Kaskalmen 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jorgenstadt. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kaskalman economy, worth 308 trillion Reichmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,390 Reichmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lumberjacks only use certified eco-friendly chainsaws, wheelchair-enabled paratroopers need access ramps to get onto planes but not off them, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, and a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaskalma's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kaskalma is ranked 93,825th in the world and 80th in The Western Isles for Most Stationary, with 489.5581589048 days.
