The Socialist Republic of Kergstan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Okja Nerkutoa with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.313 billion Kergstanis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Almatar. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Kergstani economy, worth a remarkable 2,131 trillion Tares a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 139,195 Tares, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking, and Kergstanis are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kergstan's national animal is the Ankili dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Kergstan is ranked 4,732nd in the world and 244th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 117.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
