The Uptight Democracy of Keon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Keo with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.342 billion Keonians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Desert Dome. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Keonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,143 trillion Silver Bars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 335,720 Silver Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keon's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Keon is ranked 294,324th in the world and 4,260th in the Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
