The Republic of Calabo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Josiah William Walker-Peart with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 2.324 billion Calaboans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calabotopia. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Calaboan economy, worth 197 trillion Fazdaxes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,022 Fazdaxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, aides are afraid to ask if Sir Josiah William Walker-Peart wants a cup of tea or coffee, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calabo's national animal is the Black Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Calabo is ranked 12,106^th in the world and 540^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.76 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
