The Armed Republic of Kalevasi is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.025 billion Kalevasions are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kalevasien economy, worth 353 trillion kronas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,169 kronas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalevasi's national animal is the fort turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kalevasi is ranked 323,773^rd in the world and 6^th in the Order of the Silver Compass for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
