The Federation of Kaleiya is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 32 million Kaleiyans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Kaleiyan economy, worth 781 billion Black Rubles 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 24,422 Black Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, elections have been outlawed, military spending recently hit a new high, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaleiya's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaleiya is ranked 168,494^th in the world and 57^th in Aeternas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 570.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
