The Democratic-Republic of Kendell is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Amelia Copeland with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 15.531 billion Kendellians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plakai City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kendellian economy, worth a remarkable 3,651 trillion Fractures a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 235,096 Fractures, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), separate but equal doesn't include commute time, Blackacrean security services are wondering why President Amelia Copeland is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, and scientists take credit every time it rains in Balder. Crime is totally unknown. Kendell's national animal is the White-rumped Sandpiper, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kendell is ranked 3,737^th in the world and 192^nd in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 53.23 average smiles per day.
