The United Socialist States of Keld is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Grand Warlord Radha with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.788 billion Keldians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mountain. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Keldian economy, worth 211 trillion Red Manas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,348 Red Manas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Keldian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, the Keld Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', passengers often cause a stink on public transport, and billions are being spent on a new island airport. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keld's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Book of Keld.

Keld is ranked 255,803^rd in the world and 13,235^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.8 crimes per hour.
