The District of Kellestine is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 41.747 billion Stans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Kellestinean economy, worth 194 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,650 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, Liard has just been declared ruler of Kellestine in an international press conference, and Kellestine has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kellestine's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kellestine is ranked 77,114^th in the world and 1^st in Kellestine for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
