The Empire of Kennington is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Beatrice with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.038 billion Kenningtonians 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 Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochester. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kenningtonian economy, worth 178 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 87,522 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kennington's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Kennington is ranked 155,817^th in the world and 3,393^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Authoritarian, with 683.06 milliStalins.
