Location: The Black Market

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Republic of KeeZ is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by ZKee1 with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 11.741 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinsbaile. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

KeeZ is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, the government has enacted freedom of information, and KeeZ's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KeeZ's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the kee.

KeeZ is ranked 1st in The Black Market and 995th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 153 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
