The The Free Tribes of Kernox is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jai Kingsmoreaux with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 9.571 billion Kernoxii have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kernowek. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kernoxii economy, worth 700 trillion Reks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,151 Reks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, and city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kernox's national animal is the Platypus Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Island Pantheon.

Kernox is ranked 10,274th in the world and 11th in Caer Sidi for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,564.41 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
