The Constitutional Monarchy of Kebeed is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Theodore Kessler with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.06 billion Kebedis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perseverance City. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kebic economy, worth 114 trillion Koals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,417 Koals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tax department is having withdrawal symptoms, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, "Theodore Kessler got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and time flies when you're not having fun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kebeed's national animal is the Pheonix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kebeed is ranked 13,240th in the world and 3rd in Norrsken for Most Developed, scoring 89.17 on the Human Development Index.
