The State of Calabogie is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.625 billion Calabogieans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The very strong Calabogiean economy, worth 983 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 31,089 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,372 per year while the poor average 1,670, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, voting is voluntary, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Calabogie has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Calabogie's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Calabogie is ranked 54,788^th in the world and 1^st in Calabogie for Smartest Citizens, with 42.07 quips per hour.
