The Republic of Calabo is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Josiah Walker with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.298 billion Calaboans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calabotopia. The average income tax rate is 92.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Calaboan economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion Fazdaxes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 197,555 Fazdaxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land, Josiah Walker is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Calabo is ranked 301,012^th in the world and 3,494^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 14,421.54 Standard Monetary Units.
