Kennan

Kennan is a medium-sized region, with a thriving community of 27 nations and only 10 World Assembly Members.

In Kennan, denizens enjoy their civil rights, although not too much, or too freely. Nations in the region are healthy democracies, with denizens being afforded an extensive array of political freedoms. Families in the region are so obsessed with the economy that the discussion of laffer curves and supply-side reforms over dinner is a regular occurrence in member nations. Inhabitants of the region ultimately pay most of their earnings to the government, as the median tax rate is 76%, or more! The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the public sector, with on average only 26% of the economy comprising the private sector. Stoking commercial activity is a major priority for governments, accounting for an average of 10% of public expenditure.

Education is a priority for governments throughout Kennan, with ample funding being provided and teachers enjoying a great deal of support. Crime is low: the region enjoys well-equipped and well-funded police forces, coupled with efficient but fair judicial systems. Defense is a major priority for governments within the region, with a large chunk of government budgets being devoted to it. Public transport is a popular mode of transport in the region, receiving on average of 5% of total government budgets.

Governments in Kennan communicate very well amongst themselves, with administration departments working smoothly, with 7% on average of government budgets being devoted to Administration. Governments generally endow their healthcare departments with a large amount of funding, with an average of 8% of government budgets across the region being devoted to healthcare. Welfare in the region is minimal, with only a small amount of expenditure being devoted to spending on social security. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.

Social inequality is a major problem within Kennan, although some effort has been made to correct the problem. The region's landscapes are reasonably good, although the impact of the denizens has had a noticeable effect.

The Beginning

The region of Kennan was founded on October 3rd, 2012 by Samukan. The region first started off with four nations, being Samukan, Ethan Foley, United Solcialist States of Jakeopia, and PRW. However, soon, on October 4th, a 5th nation, the Sandwich Territories joined, along with the Hackleberry Islands, the 6th member of Kennan (who joined on October 5th).

List of Nations

This list includes nations that are active in Kennan and excludes puppet nations (nations that are managed by the same player in addition to their most active account).
