The Transitional Principality of Kentlund is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Great Leader Kent with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.254 billion Kentlundians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kentholm. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kentlundian economy, worth a remarkable 1,090 trillion Bullets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is 82,259 Bullets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kentlund's national animal is the Grizzly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Condescending Atheism.

Kentlund is ranked 53,447^th in the world and 724^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,092.87 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
