The Great Kingdom of Khlachten is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by His Royal Highness Chester Hendricks with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.185 billion Khlachtenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamingcombe. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khlachtenian economy, worth 470 trillion Khlacht Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 147,765 Khlacht Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All you have to do is pray to get into Khlachten, ratings for sitcom reruns are often much higher than election debates, government expenses are beyond compare, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. 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 14,605^th in the world and 462^nd in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,114.5 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
