The Glorious Peoples' Republic of Khalite is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Father with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 27.777 billion Khalite are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Janjing. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Khalite economy, worth an astonishing 24,197 trillion woolongs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 871,137 woolongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, Father's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, and only the fast and the furious are brave enough to drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khalite's national animal is the bearcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Khalite is ranked 215th in the world and 2nd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 15,320.58 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
