The United Socialist States of Kalingana is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 828 million Kalinganans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kalinganan economy, worth 27.4 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,074 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalingana's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kalingana is ranked 54,998^th in the world and 19^th in Selene for Safest, scoring 101.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
