The Confederacy of Kusaland is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 181 million Kusalandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kusalandian economy, worth 15.1 trillion Kus Pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 83,594 Kus Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, nano-Militant Egales are the current fad sweeping the nation, murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, and on-duty Air Kusaland flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kusaland's national animal is the Militant Egale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kusaland is ranked 30,835^th in the world and 1^st in The United States Of Israel for Most Patriotic, with 37.89 flags saluted per person per day.
