The Protectorate of Keglen is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.756 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keglen City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Retail.

Penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', businesses are scrambling to adapt to the government's mandate that 'time and measurement no longer exist', muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and the booming slave trade is now government-funded. Crime is a problem. Keglen's national animal is the Kegal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Keglen.

Keglen is ranked 4th in Keglen and 60,960th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 53 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
