The Despotic Kingdom of Kennicott- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Seine Majestat Albrecht der Erste with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, soft-spoken computers, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.631 billion Himmelsvolk are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wilhelmsburg. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Himmelslichtisch economy, worth a remarkable 1,736 trillion crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 374,873 crowns, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Seine Majestat Albrecht der Erste wears an armoured gauntlet, there's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies, and Big Belly is watching you. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kennicott-'s national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Gottreichismus.

Kennicott- is ranked 6,062nd in the world and 8th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,972.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
