The Protectorate of Baroness Kensington is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 301 million Kensingtonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kensington. The average income tax rate is 42.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Baroness Kensingtonian economy, worth 18.1 trillion Pound Stirlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 60,079 Pound Stirlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of New Kensington, the public are enjoying a royal flush of tax cuts, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, and children spout "DIEU DEFEND LE DROIT" involuntarily throughout the day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baroness Kensington's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Baroness Kensington is ranked 125,333rd in the world and 29th in Britannia for Highest Average Incomes, with 60,079.65 Standard Monetary Units.
