The United States of Khakila is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 510 million Khakilians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Khakilan economy, worth 34.2 trillion Khaliks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,140 Khaliks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Khakilan politicians, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Khakila's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Khakila is ranked 39,943rd in the world and 930th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 177.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
