The Republic of Kralt is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Manx Hilary with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.957 billion Kraltians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quanpana. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kraltian economy, worth 384 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,157 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kraltian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Manx Hilary's stash", law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, and trust-fund babies line up for places in community college. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kralt's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kralt is ranked 68,667^th in the world and 1,185^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 26.83 kickbacks per hour.
