The Greater Colonial Empire of The United States of Kelmar is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, devout population of 996 million Kelmariens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bassère. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong United States of Kelmarian economy, worth 70.4 trillion Hanoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,641 Hanoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, most governmental positions are filled by zealous nationalists, pet owners exercise their Roosters at a snail's pace or risk prosecution, and anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United States of Kelmar's national animal is the Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The United States of Kelmar is ranked 170,923rd in the world and 4th in Republic of Nova Tero for Most Influential, scoring 193 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
