The Directorial Republic of Caligur is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The General Congress with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 1.71 billion caligurences have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamberly. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving caligurí economy, worth 150 trillion white Pantolios a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,067 white Pantolios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, an increasing number of animal species are named 'Bob', grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, and cars are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caligur's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pantoliyism.

Caligur is ranked 158,612^th in the world and 481^st in Carcassonne for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,252.42 Standard Monetary Units.
