The The Holy Republic of Regione Calabria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Giovanni Leonetti with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.032 billion Calavrianoes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Napoletiano. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Regione Calabrian economy, worth 517 trillion Calavranian Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,836 Calavranian Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Giovanni Leonetti specifying how high, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, immigrants complain that natives keep coming over and taking their jobs, and the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Regione Calabria's national animal is the Crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Regione Calabria is ranked 265,976^th in the world and 5,094^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -5.42 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
