The Republic of Calendia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 687 million Calendians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tycalia. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The strong Calendian economy, worth 37.5 trillion Rajuls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,551 Rajuls, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Homebuyers must agree to name their firstborn after the previous owner, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calendia's national animal is the Calendian Reef Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Calendia is ranked 184,123^rd in the world and 2^nd in United Conservative Aamanateen Republics for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
