The Commonwealth of Keks is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by вождь with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 28.315 billion Keksians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The thriving Keksian economy, worth a remarkable 3,287 trillion keks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,122 keks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keks's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Keks is ranked 23,198^th in the world and 5^th in Independent Order for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,613.13 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
