The Benevolent Dictatorship of Caleban is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Mei Aihara with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 18.35 billion Calebanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morikyo. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Calebanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,635 trillion Calebanian Yen a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 143,619 Calebanian Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The poorest Calebanians live in 'the stacks', meteorologists warn of fog just past 4pm daily, kindhearted Calebanians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caleban's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shinto.

Caleban is ranked 174,746^th in the world and 686^th in Europeia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,467.6 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
