The Federal Socialist Republics of Kelomar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jestiv Mathar with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 21.285 billion Kelomarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Krevistagrad. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kelomarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,148 trillion Alloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 147,923 Alloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Kelomar, and maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Kelomarian flag can be displayed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kelomar's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kelomar is ranked 30,671st in the world and 1,826th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,610.72 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
