The People's Republic of Kulelen is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Wilks Checkov with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.423 billion Kulelenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kulelen. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kulelenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,359 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 317,883 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A soldier's body is a temple, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kulelen's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Athiesm.

Kulelen is ranked 23,536^th in the world and 1^st in The Wastes for Highest Food Quality, scoring 105.74 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
