The '''Order of the Kalythian Star''', commonly known as '''Kalythia''', is a country primarily located on the [[Kalythia (continent)|Kalythian continent]]. It is a [[wikipedia:Unitary_state|unitary state]] composed of 75 total [[wikipedia:Province|provinces]] along with the capital district of [[Pax Kalythia]]. Kalythia shares no land borders with any other state and is surrounded by four major bodies of water on all sides, with the [[Jonnis Sea]] to the west and northwest, [[Santarno Sea]] to the southwest, [[Endelaus Sea]] to the east and southeast, and [[Cathadh Sea]] to the north and northeast. Kalythia possesses no overseas territories but claims sovereignty over much of the surrounding bodies of water. The country is one of the largest in the world in terms of both population and geographical size, with a population of over 6 billion and a land area of about 43.5 million square kilometers (16.8 million square miles).

The Kalythian continent has remained uninhabited for much of human history. The first human settlements were constructed from 1790 onwards by [[wikipedia:French_emigration_(1789–1815)#|French refugees, primarily those of the upper classes]], fleeing from the [[wikipedia:French_Revolution|French Revolution]]. Initially founded as a [[wikipedia:Confederation|confederation]] under a [[wikipedia:Theocracy|theocratic government]], discontent over the standard of living, state of the economy, and nature of the justice system sparked the [[People's Revolution]] which lasted from 1810 to 1822. Following the conflict, the government then transitioned to a [[wikipedia:Representative_democracy|representative democracy]] and [[Territorial evolution of Kalythia|expanded across the continent]]. The country received several large influxes of refugees for the rest of the 19th century from elsewhere in the world, mostly due to the outbreak of conflict in various regions. In the mid- and late-1800s, Kalythia experienced extensive immigration from [[wikipedia:Latin_America|Latin America]] during the [[wikipedia:Spanish_American_wars_of_independence|Spanish American wars of independence]], and from [[wikipedia:North_Africa|North Africa]] and [[wikipedia:West_Asia|Southwest Asia]] during the [[wikipedia:Scramble_for_Africa|European wars of colonization]] there. By 1880, Kalythia established itself as one of the world's [[wikipedia:Second_Industrial_Revolution|leading industrial powers]], Proliferation of conflict throughout the rest of the world during the first half of the 20th century compelled the country to adopt a [[Danger Presence Doctrine|militaristic foreign policy towards nearby nations]]. sparking a series of intense wars that would leave Kalythia in a [[Century of War|near-permanent state of continuous conflict]] for the rest of the century. Public disproval of the democratic government due to the [[Famines in Kalythia|ensuing privations caused by the wars]] resulted in the [[Good Man's Year|1997 takeover]] by the [[wikipedia:Nationalism|nationalist]] [[Treville United Coalition]] political party, which returned the country to a state of [[wikipedia:Isolationism|isolationism]] that continues to the present day.

The [[Kalythian national government]] is a unitary semi-[[wikipedia:Republic|republic]] and [[ministerial democracy]] with no distinct branches of government. It possesses a [[wikipedia:Bicameralism|bicameral]] legislature consisting of the [[Lower Council of the Ministerial Government|Lower Council]] and the [[Upper Council of the Ministerial Government|Upper Council]], with the latter wielding more political power than the former. Placement of each ministy in a council along with its general influence on policymaking [[Conway System|depends greatly on the overall national government's issues and priorities at any given time]]. The national government is headed by the [[Supreme Minister Kalythia|Supreme Minister]], which exerts absolute power over all other government bodies and serves for life, but must be voted into office by both the Lower and Upper Councils. The country's political culture promotes [[wikipedia:Peace|peace]], [[wikipedia:Economic_growth|economic success]], [[wikipedia:Realpolitik|rationality]], [[wikipedia:Human_rights|natural rights]], and a balance between [[wikipedia:Social_order#|order]] and [[wikipedia:Liberty|liberty]].

As one of the [[wikipedia:Human_Development_Index|world's most developed countries]], Kalythia possesses one of the largest economies and [[wikipedia:Gross_domestic_product|GDP]]<nowiki/>s in the world. It boasts a [[wikipedia:Gini_coefficient|minimal gap in income inquality]] along with ranking high among the world in numerous metrics including economic performance, [[wikipedia:Global_Innovation_Index|innovation]], and [[Education in Kalythia|education]]. Kalythia, following its isolationist foreign policy, is not a member of the [[World Assembly]] nor many prominent international organizations, and harbors very few [[Diplomacy in Kalythia|diplomatic ties with other countries]]. Neverthless, it pursues [[Faraday Doctrine|economic and financial cooperation]] with most other nations and practices [[wikipedia:Free_trade|free trade]].
