The Grand Duchy of Kerakin is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.556 billion Kerakinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kerakinian economy, worth 155 trillion kruuns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,178 kruuns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, and tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerakin's national animal is the kerakian osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kerakin is ranked 33,171^st in the world and 76^th in Thaecia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 801.76 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
