The Empire of Constitutional Republic of California is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 244 million Californian 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 Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Californians economy, worth 9.65 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,543 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Constitutional Republic of California's national animal is the California Grizzly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Constitutional Republic of California is ranked 212,741^st in the world and 3,630^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -3.1 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
