The Republic of Kushnara is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 78 million Kushnarans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kushnaran economy, worth 3.64 trillion hegars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,671 hegars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists call Kushnaran beach towns "the fine coastline", people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, and marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal. Crime is totally unknown. Kushnara's national animal is the white horse.

Kushnara is ranked 150,725^th in the world and 8^th in True Waskaria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
