The Federal Republic of Kalisto is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.982 billion Kalistoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kalistoan economy, worth 646 trillion Kalis a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,311 Kalis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Kali mansions, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", Kalistoan Gladiators is a ratings success, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalisto's national animal is the Tiber, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kalisto is ranked 58,196^th in the world and 984^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,739.17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
