The Republic of Henry Keating is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Badger population. The hard-working population of 12 million Henry Keatingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The Henry Keatingian economy, worth 544 billion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 45,358 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Henry Keating's national animal is the Badger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Henry Keating is ranked 194,642^nd in the world and 59^th in The Clueless Repository for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 297.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
