The Democratic-Republic of Kendell is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Amelia Copeland with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 15.668 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, although Education, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. 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 3,683 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 21,366^th in the world and 993^rd in Balder for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
