The Commonwealth of Kalaska77 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 1.584 billion Kalaska77ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grandpa Town. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kalaska77ian economy, worth 204 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 129,135 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, artists are pillars of society, and schoolyard bullying has a tendency to escalate. 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 28,804th in the world and 662nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 225.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
