The Federation of Kalredia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Sokolovsky with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.515 billion Kalredians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foloskana. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Kalredian economy, worth a remarkable 2,226 trillion Kalredian Marks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 341,825 Kalredian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday, modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalredia's national animal is the Kalredian Kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Kalredia is ranked 281,573rd in the world and 10,405th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 25.08 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
