The Directorial Republic of Caligur is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The General Congress with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.717 billion caligurences have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamberly. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving caligurí economy, worth 152 trillion white Pantolios a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,871 white Pantolios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sweat stains are proof of political acumen, murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, and diplomatic cables about The General Congress have suddenly been very flattering. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caligur's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pantoliyism.

Caligur is ranked 180,018^th in the world and 630^th in Carcassonne for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 364.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
