The Principality of Kernev is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Morwenna Pascoe with an even hand, and remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.841 billion Kerneveans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Truru. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kernevic economy, worth 98.2 trillion tin pieces a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,559 tin pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Morwenna Pascoe has just been declared ruler of Kernev in an international press conference, Kernev has designated Truru as its capital city, and Paganism has been named as Kernev's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kernev's national animal is the chough, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paganism.

Kernev is ranked 133,231^st in the world and 424^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,143.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
