The Electrified Peoples of William Kemmler is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 32.393 billion Kemmlerians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The all-consuming William Kemmler economy, worth a remarkable 3,427 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 105,795 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 587,608 per year while the poor average 9,553, a ratio of 61.5 to 1.

Genetic research has been halted, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. William Kemmler's national animal is the Joule, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

William Kemmler is ranked 29,455^th in the world and 1^st in Ravenstadt for Safest, scoring 109.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
