The Republic of Kerguellen is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Le Tonnelier with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.673 billion Kerguelens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arques. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kerguelen economy, worth 985 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 84,452 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Kerguelens like vultures, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, and doctors refer to inner-cities as newbie zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerguellen's national animal is the King Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Kerguellen is ranked 74,581^st in the world and 15^th in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Most Developed, scoring 68.23 on the Human Development Index.
