The Department of Calvados is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Laurent Fiscus with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 14.804 billion Calvadosiens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caen. The average income tax rate is 36.2%.

The very strong Calvadosien economy, worth 871 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 58,878 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Laurent Fiscus, the judicial system legislates morality, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calvados's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Calvados is ranked 244,703^rd in the world and 62^nd in Department Store for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -2 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
