The United States of Kensington is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mich Norwood with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.796 billion Kensingtonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeropolis. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kensingtonian economy, worth 469 trillion Teq Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 123,446 Teq Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is legal, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kensington's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Scientific Advancment.

Kensington is ranked 303,110^th in the world and 478^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -21 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
