The Kingdom of Keith Richards is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mick with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.343 billion Keith Richardsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Keith Richardsian economy, worth 632 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,450 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, the government is cracking down on subversive groups, birth announcements often also serve as death announcements, and the word "robot" is considered to be etymologically offensive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keith Richards's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Keith Richards is ranked 298,607th in the world and 2nd in Manhattan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
