The Constitutional Imperium of Kalish is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ulfric Von NorthStar with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.917 billion Kalishians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Star. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kalishian economy, worth 357 trillion kalishnan credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 122,400 kalishnan credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence, and snap elections are called whenever there's a chance to increase Ulfric Von NorthStar's majority. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalish's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Skalen.

Kalish is ranked 11,563^rd in the world and 25^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 119.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
