The Federation of Kulde is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander Dragovich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.411 billion Kullens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wittemgrad. The average income tax rate is 51.3%.

The very strong Kullen economy, worth 247 trillion Rehts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,775 Rehts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, and the statue in the Quimby Plaza has a solar panel for a hat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kulde's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kulde is ranked 50,658^th in the world and 15^th in United Fascist Workers Association for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 146.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
