The The Holy Republic of Regione Calabria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Giovanni Leonetti with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.805 billion Calabrians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Napoletano. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Regione Calabrian economy, worth 374 trillion Calabrian Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 98,395 Calabrian Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, Giovanni Leonetti's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records. 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 Christian.

Regione Calabria is ranked 133,125^th in the world and 3,028^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 72.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
