The Adventures of Commander keen is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.359 billion Commander keenians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Commander keenian economy, worth 673 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,491 Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 468,429 per year while the poor average 9,811, a ratio of 47.7 to 1.

Masterpieces by male artists are on display in the dumpsters behind the gallery, new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commander keen's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Commander keen is ranked 233,996^th in the world and 7,776^th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -114.05 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
