Nation/Kalatun

The Most Serene Republic of Kalatun is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 301 million Kalatunians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sythavt. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kalatunian economy, worth 18.0 trillion Shilats a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 59,652 Shilats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
