The People's Republic of North Kolkaland is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 369 million North Kolkalandians 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 Education, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped North Kolkalandian economy, worth 13.3 trillion SK Lokas 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 36,165 SK Lokas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mysterious black helicopters menace farmers to ensure compliance with straitjacketing agricultural policies, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens. Crime is totally unknown. North Kolkaland's national animal is the falcon.

North Kolkaland is ranked 257,597^th in the world and 9,790^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 13,960.07 Standard Monetary Units.
