The Eternal Empire of Keldros is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Caesar with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 15.914 billion Keldrosians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Groznygrad. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Keldrosian economy, worth a remarkable 6,938 trillion gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 436,000 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Keldros's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Keldros is ranked 1,448th in the world and 1st in Altmora for Most Corrupt Governments, with 409.82 kickbacks per hour.
