The Free Land of Kaulankiland is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 320 million Kaulankites live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The powerhouse Kaulankian economy, worth 26.5 trillion units a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 82,729 units, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 306,910 per year while the poor average 15,686, a ratio of 19.6 to 1.

Ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Kaulankian pirates, more and more students are taking up a career in medicine, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kaulankiland's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kaulankiland is ranked 228,491^st in the world and 9,865^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
