The Constitutional Monarchy of Kebeed is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Theodore Kessler with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 961 million Kebedis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perseverance City. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kebic economy, worth 102 trillion Koals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,286 Koals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, the black market offers sweet deals, and janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kebeed's national animal is the Pheonix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kebeed is ranked 118,332^nd in the world and 61^st in Norrsken for Safest, scoring 76.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
