The New People's Republic of Khalya is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme General Victor Mern with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.81 billion Khalyans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nitrefar. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khalyan economy, worth a remarkable 2,560 trillion koins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 327,908 koins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, programmers often reinvent the wheel, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khalya's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Collectivism.

Khalya is ranked 289,276th in the world and 10,964th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 3.74 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
