Kalam, officially the Kalami Nation, is a sovereign state located in the upper hemisphere of the Attu Archipelago. Its government adopts a hereditary oligarchy system known as the Council of Elders. Its land consists of seven island— Hatun, Hikuen, Kuchu, Pacha, Puyu, Samay and Wasi. Kalam does not have a capital, though it is notable to say the island of Hikuen is widely regarded as it's most important city due to it being Kalam's main source of natural resources and a main economic hotspot, despite not being the most largest or most widely inhabited island.
