The Federal Republic of Calbout is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by King Edgar II with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.616 billion Calboutians 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 Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calcadonia. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Calboutian economy, worth 563 trillion Calboutian Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 122,008 Calboutian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, and senior professors are allowed to skip the wait at soup kitchens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calbout's national animal is the Red Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Calbout is ranked 249,633^rd in the world and 372^nd in Christians for Most Extreme, scoring 7.48 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
