The Democratic-Republic of Kendell is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by President Amelia Copeland with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 15.524 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 receives no funds. 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 3,649 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 240,744^th in the world and 13,588^th in Balder for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 600.37 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
