The Dreaming Willows of Kaschovia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Albus Karelka III with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.552 billion Kaschovians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaiseva. The average income tax rate is 46.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kaschovian economy, worth a remarkable 5,375 trillion Kaschis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 324,784 Kaschis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, people transfer their assets to bank accounts in Manamana before getting divorced, the government guarantees that tourists will have the ultimate trip on their trips, and bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kaschovia's national animal is the Kulevian Butterfly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kaschovia is ranked 58,275^th in the world and 935^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 74.99 on the Human Development Index.
