KalKash is an independent [[Town Guide|town]] in the center of the geographic region generally called Canada. It is small in size and population, and is set in a highly rural and swampy area with few resources. The history of the town and surrounding area is not clearly well defined nor well-documented, with even its name's origins not being well understood. One certain thing, though, is that it was once part of the nation of Cascadia. Aside from this showing in the survival of Cascadian culture in the town, this bit of its history has been passed along orally. It is estimated to have been abandoned sometime in 2024 or early 2025, but has since been reinvigorated by former members who started inhabiting it again in October 2025 and reinstated the town on November 1st. | '''KalKash''', officially the '''Free Town of KalKash''', is an independent [[Town Guide|town]] in the center of the geographic region generally called Canada.

The name KalKash translates to "happiness." There is some debate and confliction with the original naming of the town, with it likely being called "CowCash" or, more likely a similar name, "KowKash." This second spelling is generally agreed upon by historians. Some have also insisted that it was "KalKash" from the beginning. It is not clear if the second K (or C, depending on the spelling) was capitalized in the name prior to abandonment. | The name KalKash translates to "happiness."
