The Commonwealth of Kalaska77 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 1.516 billion Kalaska77ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grandpa Town. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kalaska77ian economy, worth 196 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,532 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, protestors are soaking piles of dollars in blood to make a point about government incomes, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalaska77's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kalaska77 is ranked 27,494^th in the world and 701^st in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 869.06 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
