The People's Republic of Kalamani is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 429 million Kalamanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Macadamia. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kalamanian economy, worth 29.7 trillion Kalakukus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 69,238 Kalakukus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Kalamani, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, retirement apartments house giggling grannies who delightedly watch blank TVs all day long, and government popup ads are springing up like weeds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalamani's national animal is the Kalamanian Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kalamani is ranked 60,141^st in the world and 381^st in 10000 Islands for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,262.73 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
