The Grand Duchy of Kentia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 62 million Kentians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kentian economy, worth 1.57 trillion Florints a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,400 Florints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, mandatory electronic currency is a boon for credit card companies and government surveillance, archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kentia's national animal is the Zeepaardje, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kentia is ranked 261,425^th in the world and 5,904^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -41.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
