The Republic of Calimex is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 501 million Calimexians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tijuana. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Calimexian economy, worth 30.4 trillion Pesodollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,705 Pesodollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 242,821 per year while the poor average 10,193, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.

Anti-vacs campaigners claim the government is inserting weird devices into their bodies, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and Calimex has designated Tijuana as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Calimex's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Calimex is ranked 256,863^rd in the world and 20^th in Calexico and Mexicali for Most Patriotic, with 1.46 flags saluted per person per day.
