The Principality of Kernev is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Morwenna Pascoe with an even hand, and remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.936 billion Kerneveans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Truru. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Kernevic economy, worth 106 trillion tin pieces a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,233 tin pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Morwenna Pascoe has just been declared ruler of Kernev in an international press conference, Kernev has designated Truru as its capital city, and Paganism has been named as Kernev's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kernev's national animal is the chough, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paganism.

Kernev is ranked 62,053^rd in the world and 228^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 98.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
