The Dominion of The Bookkeeper is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Librarian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.308 billion Keepers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eyeglasses. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Bookkeeperian economy, worth a remarkable 1,416 trillion Pens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 69,758 Pens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,076 per year while the poor average 17,121, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, Christianity has been named as The Bookkeeper's national religion, the average cargo freighter spends more than half its service life undergoing safety inspections, and urban parents tell their children that the family car went to a farm upstate. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. The Bookkeeper's national animal is the Siver Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Bookkeeper is ranked 222,437^th in the world and 5^th in The Cemetery for Most Secular, with 15.04 Atheism Rate.
