The Railway Ridden Nation of Lead Keion is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Kieran White with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.891 billion Lead Keionians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starthlam. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lead Keionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,500 trillion Keionis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 151,694 Keionis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, and unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lead Keion's national animal is the Great Western Railway Pannier Tank, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Lead Keion is ranked 54,141st in the world and 2nd in The Guild for Most Stationary, with 814.22102056488 days.
