The Dominion of Kesoia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 253 million Kesoians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 31.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kesoian economy, worth 11.4 trillion Bwabs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,170 Bwabs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kesoia's national animal is the Plort.

Kesoia is ranked 122,803rd in the world and 6th in WhenItsDone for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,956.69 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
