The Empire of Kelbadan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Koedein Vatmal with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.186 billion Kelbadanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liósburge. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kelbadanian economy, worth 104 trillion Scarabs 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 88,481 Scarabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, entomologists flock to Liósburge for its remarkable gadfly population, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kelbadan's national animal is the Chimpanzee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kelbadan is ranked 300,139^th in the world and 2,505^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 19.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
