The Republic of Kalus Pateryparl is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.449 billion Kalus Pateryparlians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.5%.
The very strong Kalus Pateryparlian economy, worth 88.8 trillion sands a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,305 sands, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.
Harry Potter books are banned, military spending recently hit a new high, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Kalus Pateryparl's national animal is the scarab.
Kalus Pateryparl is ranked 158,111th in the world and 6,281st in Suspicious for Most Beautiful Environments, with 503.25 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
