The Kingdom of Calade is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 298 million Caladons 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Granton. The average income tax rate is 20.5%.

The Caladean economy, worth 14.6 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,889 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Calade has designated Granton as its capital city, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, and the nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calade's national animal is the Seagull.

Calade is ranked 122,666^th in the world and 19^th in Ridgefield for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,928.67 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
