The BROOMSTICK of Callista Cards is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Clown von Namelesswald VIII with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 2.883 billion Callistan Cards have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cleveland. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong struggling economy, worth 133 trillion Baloo bucks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,232 Baloo bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Callista Cards" at foreigners, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, discarded pennies litter the streets, and forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Callista Cards's national animal is the California Grizzly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pearism.

Callista Cards is ranked 127,287^th in the world and 51^st in Callista for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 67.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
