The Empire of Kennington is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Beatrice Carrington with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.981 billion Kenningtonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochester. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kenningtonian economy, worth 647 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,143 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Fox Dung" has been declared a national treasure, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kennington's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Kennington is ranked 27,602^nd in the world and 296^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,133.48 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
