The Republic of Kaldenia is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 104 million Kaldenians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The very strong Kaldenian economy, worth 6.73 trillion kalars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 64,741 kalars, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-kalar charge on their phone bill, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", this year's comedy award has left mothers-in-law seething, and Kaldenia City's back alleys are rife with sausage eating. Crime is well under control. Kaldenia's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Kaldenia is ranked 52,119^th in the world and 188^th in Europeia for Fattest Citizens, with 13.59 Obesity Rate.
