The Two Candles of Evergreen Keys is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Keeper with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.876 billion Keysians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Keys. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Keysian economy, worth 217 trillion keys a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 116,077 keys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, The Keeper panders to nontraditional families, chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evergreen Keys's national animal is the keysian dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Evergreen Keys is ranked 10,500^th in the world and 212^th in Europe for Best Weather, with 213 Meters Of Sunlight.
