The Commonwealth of Kaeriel is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 450 million Kaerielians 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, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kaerielian economy, worth 20.6 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is 45,750 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaeriel's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaeriel is ranked 117,462^nd in the world and 47^th in Hive for Most Patriotic, with 13.52 flags saluted per person per day.
