The Republic of Keyyn is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sir Williams IIV with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 9.502 billion Keyynians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blacat. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Keyynianitan economy, worth 638 trillion keys a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,248 keys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, rumor has it that Sir Williams IIV has won three lotteries in a row, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keyyn's national animal is the black cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Keyyn is ranked 18,607^th in the world and 11^th in Oatland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 121.52 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
