The Republic of Calabo is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josiah Walker-Peart with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.787 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calabotopia. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Calaboan economy, worth a remarkable 1,045 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. Average income is an impressive 180,738 Fazdaxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, a lot of number one hits are straight cover versions, and citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions. 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 42,314^th in the world and 360^th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 32.87 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
