The Colony of Calimao is a huge, safe nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 569 million Calimaoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Calimaoan economy, worth 18.5 trillion Calimons a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,585 Calimons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Calimao City. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calimao's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calimao is ranked 239,508^th in the world and 6,581^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -13 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
