The Empire of Kennington is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Beatrice Carrington with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.55 billion Kenningtonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochester. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kenningtonian economy, worth 579 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,482 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dictators have dubbed Kennington the land of lunatics, small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Kenningtonian sovereign territory, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. 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 37,490^th in the world and 306^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Governments, scoring 24.96 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
