The Protectorate of Kehr is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29 million Kehrians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The strong Kehrian economy, worth 1.64 trillion Pesoyean Thetas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 56,644 Pesoyean Thetas, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kehr's national animal is the Blue jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kehr is ranked 232,469^th in the world and 5,109^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
