The Sultanate of Kebabestan is a huge, safe nation, notable for its fear of technology, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 386 million Kebabestanians 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shishkabad. The average income tax rate is 64.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kebabestanian economy, worth 13.7 trillion doners a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,521 doners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged, foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad, and a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kebabestan's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kebabestan is ranked 71,124^th in the world and 803^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,047.92 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
