The Matriarchy of Kalimport is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Grand Precept with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.18 billion Kalimportians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalimport City. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kalimportian economy, worth a remarkable 1,124 trillion Dewgongs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 181,883 Dewgongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalimport's national animal is the Golden Opera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Logic and Reason.

Kalimport is ranked 272,742^nd in the world and 677^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
