The Allied States of New Kalve is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by N'thaha 'Zofam with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.62 billion New Kalveans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krasnoyarsk. The average income tax rate is 37.2%.

The thriving New Kalvean economy, worth 113 trillion Kalvean Ruis a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,136 Kalvean Ruis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Trick-or-treaters and circus clowns have been arrested under suspicion of being renegade vigilantes, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over New Kalve, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and children prefer to begin their day with push-ups rather than breakfast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. New Kalve's national animal is the Spotted Salamander, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Violetism.

New Kalve is ranked 121,569^th in the world and 25^th in Furry Hangout for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,625.95 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
