The Matriarchy of Kalimport is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Precept with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.128 billion Kalimportians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalimport City. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kalimportian economy, worth a remarkable 1,107 trillion Dewgongs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 180,807 Dewgongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
