The United States of Calareja is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.826 billion Calarejar are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Calarejar economy, worth 142 trillion reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 29,518 reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Harry Potter books are banned, military spending recently hit a new high, and the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calareja's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Calareja is ranked 65,036^th in the world and 5^th in Corvinia Refounded for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
