The Kingdom of Keith Richards is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.282 billion Keith Richardsians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 69.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Keith Richardsian economy, worth 627 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,710 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Mass shootings have become the new normal, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, Mick lives life on the open road - complete with groupies, and shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keith Richards's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Keith Richards is ranked 298,808th in the world and 2nd in Manhattan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
