The Corporatocracy of Elcric Kcalb is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Adenauer with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 34.306 billion Kcalbites are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gratenburg. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kcalbite economy, worth an astonishing 12,543 trillion Hobs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 365,639 Hobs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,773,385 per year while the poor average 13,461, a ratio of 206 to 1.

Arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, the 'sing-a-long with Chairman Adenauer' album is a popular souvenir, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, and annual government budgets include a sizeable spend on "making things look fabulous". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Elcric Kcalb's national animal is the Castor Kcalbis, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Elcric Kcalb is ranked 1,588th in the world and 1st in Tyrrhenia for Highest Average Incomes, with 365,639.18 Standard Monetary Units.
