The Republic of KeronikaV is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.828 billion KeronikaVians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 38.1%.
The frighteningly efficient KeronikaVian economy, worth a remarkable 2,293 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,900 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
Sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the government seizes the property of the recently deceased. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KeronikaV's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
KeronikaV is ranked 21,254th in the world and 25th in New Bilderberg Group for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
