The Empire of Kalldunn is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Arran IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 7.894 billion Kalldunnians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lochinver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Kalldunnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,808 trillion Guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 229,145 Guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 850,083 per year while the poor average 43,447, a ratio of 19.6 to 1.
Overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, and there's no representation without taxation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalldunn's national animal is the Northern Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Church of Kalldunn.
Kalldunn is ranked 60,971st in the world and 42nd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Stationary, with 758.0537509564 days.
