The Federal Republic of Kalifer and Baska is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Niklas Konßtansson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.244 billion Kalifaris hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nordfjellrikkaldbyen. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kalifer and Baskan economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion Nords a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,742 Nords, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, Kalifer and Baska's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime is totally unknown. Kalifer and Baska's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kalifer and Baska is ranked 2,372^nd in the world and 36^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 18,542.13 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
