The Armed Republic of Kalansa is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, devout population of 301 million Kalansanites 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Public Transport receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 16.1%.

The Kalansan economy, worth 17.5 trillion cashas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,137 cashas, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Public urination is on the increase, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, and the little guy plays a big role in Kalansan politics. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kalansa's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kalansa is ranked 258,089^th in the world and 20^th in ACA for Safest, scoring 14.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
