The Democratic States of Kestir is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Micah Anderson with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.427 billion Kestirians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kilstizch. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kestrin economy, worth 166 trillion kosds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,758 kosds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, government projects are full of waste, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kestir's national animal is the Kestrian bear.

Kestir is ranked 30,468^th in the world and 10^th in CISB for Rudest Citizens, with 86.08 Insults Per Minute.
