The Republic of Kallik is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Greisha with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.132 billion Kallikians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bluestone. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kallikian economy, worth 275 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 128,993 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, the endangered saltwater humpback dolphin is only seen in captivity programs, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kallik's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kallik is ranked 8,376^th in the world and 223^rd in The East Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 16.85 bananas ingested per day.
