The Free State of Kholdan

“Unity, Justice and Wealth”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free State of Kholdan is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Zghuk Whitescull with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, state-planned economy, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 30.688 billion Kholdanians 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 prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Administration is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kholdan City. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kholdanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,067 trillion Marks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,952 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Zghuk Whitescull's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kholdan's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gallifreyan mysticism.

Kholdan is ranked 307,490^th in the world and 4,140^th in the South Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -30.76 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
