The Order of The Kalythian Star is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Connorson the Indomitable with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 5.998 billion Kalythians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pax Kalythia. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kalythian economy, worth a remarkable 1,025 trillion Kalyns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,916 Kalyns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kalythian Star's national animal is the Griffon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Gallentism.

The Kalythian Star is ranked 14,201^st in the world and 611^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 104 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
