The State of Keogan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.481 billion Keoganians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Income tax is unheard of.

The strong Keoganian economy, worth 575 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 17,179 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 110,087 per year while the poor average 1,094, a ratio of 100 to 1.

The land is famous throughout the region for its rampant lawlessness, Keogan has designated Westminster as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Keogan in an international press conference, and fresh food is a thing of the past due to onerous testing standards. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Keogan's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Keogan is ranked 258,163^rd in the world and 7^th in United Allied Federation for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
