The Ammar's Nation of Kenshevton is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ammar at Olive Garden with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.658 billion Kenshevtonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olive Garden. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Kenshevtonian economy, worth 145 trillion breads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 25,802 breads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied lobster, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kenshevton's national animal is the lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Breadstickism.

Kenshevton is ranked 285,456th in the world and 24th in Hartfelden for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 523.65 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
