The Free Land of Kilen Deven is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 149 million Kilen Devenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Kilen Devenian economy, worth 3.36 trillion Devers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 22,546 Devers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and Leader's reputation is hard as nails. Crime is totally unknown. Kilen Deven's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kilen Deven is ranked 119,513^th in the world and 643^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,642.43 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
