The People's Confederation of Kalmitia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kei Rybalka with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.752 billion Kalmitians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hinosvetsk. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kalmitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,350 trillion Ruyans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 200,075 Ruyans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, prison visits increase substantially during election years, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kalmitia's national animal is the Sakhalin Grasshopper Warbler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kalmitia is ranked 315,612^th in the world and 32^nd in The Commonwealth Society for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -27.2 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
