The Empire of Onder Kelkia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Hair Broom with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.167 billion Onder Kelkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soxan. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Onder Kelkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,978 trillion Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,240 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, banks now use correct pronouns when evicting people from their houses, and teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Onder Kelkia's national animal is the Mute Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Onder Kelkia is ranked 7,219^th in the world and 350^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,423.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
