The Kingdom of Keith Richards is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.252 billion Keith Richardsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 69.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Keith Richardsian economy, worth 622 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,579 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, political activists are routinely executed, contracting work is a family-run enterprise, and tourists aren't the only ones that talk about coming back from a trip. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keith Richards's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Keith Richards is ranked 26,947^th in the world and 2^nd in Manhattan for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 265.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
