The Socialist Federation of Kalixia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lysandra Velkova with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.966 billion Kalixians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kolata. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kalixian economy, worth 499 trillion Kalixian Marks 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 168,554 Kalixian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, and the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalixia's national animal is the Kalixian giant trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is atheism.

Kalixia is ranked 4,247^th in the world and 20^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Developed, scoring 95.56 on the Human Development Index.
