The Republic of Keppra is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.202 billion Kepprans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Public Transport and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 43.0%.

The all-consuming Keppran economy, worth 800 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,212 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Keppra's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Keppra is ranked 106,887th in the world and 1,253rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 389.90063935232 days.
