The Republic of Kalosia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Edgard Solem with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.378 billion Kalosians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monterra. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kalosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,741 trillion Crowns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is 59,292 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalosia's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is no religion as Kalosia is secular.

Kalosia is ranked 290,293^rd in the world and 58^th in Rushmore for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -134.46 on the Hayek Index.
