The Confederate Empire of Kekination is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Brin Cress with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.534 billion Kekinationians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ricaster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kekinationian economy, worth a remarkable 2,171 trillion PetroGolds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 173,251 PetroGolds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 951,602 per year while the poor average 16,032, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, advanced mathematics books explain how two plus two equals five, homogenous restaurants all have very similar menus, and police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kekination's national animal is the Wynona's big brown beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Minarchism.

Kekination is ranked 183,208^th in the world and 392^nd in Chicken overlords for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,017.77 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
