The Democratic Republic of South Kerala is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Srinivasan Nadavayal with an even hand, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 11.01 billion South Keralites are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaññirakkodu. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient South Keralite economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion South Keralite Kuntris a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,038 South Keralite Kuntris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Kerala's national animal is the Yellow Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saint Thomas Christianity.

South Kerala is ranked 49,918^th in the world and 19^th in India for Largest Black Market, with 19.2 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
