The Wonderland of Keronika is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Daniel with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.413 billion are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Commerce, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Most governmental positions are filled by zealous nationalists, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events. Crime is totally unknown. Keronika's national animal is the sasquach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Charismatic Wiccan Scientists, and its currency is the pound.

Keronika is ranked 414th in British Isles and 101,529th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
