The Republic of Kento Nanami is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 50 million Kento Nanamians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kento Nanamian economy, worth 1.74 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 34,856 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fattest folk in Kento Nanami look to be the happiest ones, military spending recently hit a new high, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kento Nanami's national animal is the Ratio, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kento Nanami is ranked 295,588^th in the world and 12^th in Regionate for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 16,417.56 Standard Monetary Units.
