The City of Kolkata is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.411 billion Kolkatans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 10.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kolkatan economy, worth 363 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,355 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Kolkata's radio stations, life expectancy is way down but posthuman perfectionism is way up, the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, and athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kolkata's national animal is the Gangetic Dolphin.

Kolkata is ranked 24,520th in the world and 18th in India for Nicest Citizens, with 20.98 average smiles per day.
