The Republic of Kahlua is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ozzy I with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.524 billion Kahluans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kahluamarie. The average income tax rate is 28.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kahluan economy, worth 110 trillion Dios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 72,479 Dios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", and music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kahlua's national animal is the Calico, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Calicism.

Kahlua is ranked 220,634^th in the world and 3,983^rd in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 886.68 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
