The State of Keatsley is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 32.868 billion Keatsleyians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.
The thriving Keatsleyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,633 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 49,705 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,355 per year while the poor average 5,378, a ratio of 47.1 to 1.
Keatsley has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Keatsley in an international press conference, luxury brands target their advertising at the unemployed and homeless, and one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for the Governor's office. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem. Keatsley's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Keatsley is ranked 261,869th in the world and 6th in Senegal for Safest, scoring 12.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
