The Império democrático of Ketlard is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by giovanna olk with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, zero percent divorce rate, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.47 billion Ketlardianoes enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ginopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.
The all-consuming Ketlardian economy, worth 140 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 95,337 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
Doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas, and blind dates tend to result in bruised shins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ketlard's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ketlard is ranked 98,004th in the world and 9th in Southeast Union for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,063.6 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
