The Commonwealth of KeronikaIV is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.853 billion KeronikaIVians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of london. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The frighteningly efficient KeronikaIVian economy, worth a remarkable 2,423 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,474 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 815,864 per year while the poor average 34,474, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process, retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KeronikaIV's national animal is the Jack Russel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

KeronikaIV is ranked 35,246^th in the world and 10^th in New Bilderberg Group for Highest Food Quality, scoring 49.94 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
