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

The Republic of North Kalsennia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lhenand Xavier with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.035 billion North Kalsennians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hovedstia. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming North Kalsennian economy, worth 393 trillion Moners a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,114 Moners, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Kalsennia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

North Kalsennia is ranked 255,729^th in the world and 11,929^th in The North Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.88 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
