The Forever Remembering of Kalast is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.127 billion Kalastians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Philadelphia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.
The powerhouse Kalastian economy, worth 504 trillion Kalastian Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 82,371 Kalastian Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,517 per year while the poor average 23,359, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.
Dining out often involves Parrots on the plate no matter what you order, the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and the Federal Council of Kalast has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Kalast's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Kalast is ranked 104,394th in the world and 42nd in Shinka for Most Beautiful Environments, with 559.97 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
