The Matriarchy of Kemetera is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 219 million Kemeterans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 79.1%.

The sizeable but sluggish Kemeteran economy, worth 5.86 trillion Sickleses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 26,779 Sickleses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and economic planning is exalted as a human art form. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kemetera's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kemetera is ranked 220,928th in the world and 368th in Sophia for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 393.7 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
