Location: The Alliance of Dictators

Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Fascist Dominion of Khalite is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Commissar Zytzev with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.516 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Control Zone 4. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, abortions are routinely performed in Khalite's hospitals, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khalite's national animal is the Mountain Elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Cult of Zytzev, and its currency is the Zytzev.

Khalite is ranked 100th in The Alliance of Dictators and 100,542nd in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
