The Federation of Kalredia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Sokolovsky with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.604 billion Kalredians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foloskana. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kalredian economy, worth a remarkable 6,174 trillion Kalredian Marks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 a breathtaking 532,103 Kalredian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

SOS from foreign ships mean "shoot on sight", the government is plagued with uncertainty, the most notorious criminals are given the Consequences of Your Actions Award, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalredia's national animal is the Kalredian Kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Kalredia is ranked 118,373^rd in the world and 6,558^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,805.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
