The Great Kingdom of Khlachten is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Chester Hendricks with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.541 billion Khlachtenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamingcombe. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khlachtenian economy, worth 658 trillion Khlacht Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,947 Khlacht Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and much of Khlachten's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khlachten's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Angels of Khlachten.

Khlachten is ranked 11,484^th in the world and 274^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 117,464.13 Standard Monetary Units.
