The Democratic Union of States of Kema is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Karare Hasa with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 2.604 billion Kemats 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karelō. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kemati economy, worth 271 trillion krus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 104,421 krus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kema's national animal is the Kemati pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kema is ranked 15,225^th in the world and 225^th in NationStates for Highest Food Quality, scoring 134.09 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
