The Empire of Kennington is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Beatrice Carrington with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.808 billion Kenningtonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochester. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kenningtonian economy, worth 619 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,636 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dictators have dubbed Kennington the land of lunatics, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Kenningtonian sovereign territory, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kennington's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Kennington is ranked 132,394^th in the world and 1,075^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,212.86 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
