KeronikaII

Population17.16 billion

The Republic of KeronikaII is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 17.16 billion KeronikaIIians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 14.8%.

The frighteningly efficient KeronikaIIian economy, worth a remarkable 3,192 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,034 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and almost all products in KeronikaII are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KeronikaII's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

KeronikaII is ranked 22,109th in the world and 22nd in Empire of Great Britain for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
