The Kingdom of Kaudis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by PM Kondir Parkkhesith with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, cultivated feral children, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.097 billion Kaudese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zausmirth. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kaudese economy, worth 671 trillion Preikis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 163,900 Preikis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, there's a big brother in every prison, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime is all-pervasive. Kaudis's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yes.

Kaudis is ranked 321,370^th in the world and 6^th in Poschomenia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -621.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
