The Galactic Clockwork Universe of Calivanthia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Michael Sullivan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.437 billion Calivanthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kumee Jungles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.1%.

The powerhouse Calivanthian economy, worth 302 trillion Gears a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,042 Gears, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Riots have broken out as a water shortage threatens Calivanthia's stability, the National Archive now covers square miles of warehouses in order to accommodate its new stone tablets system, most citizens in Calivanthia are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, and citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calivanthia's national animal is the Linx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Xilanity.

Calivanthia is ranked 73,558^th in the world and 5^th in Yerushalem VI for Most Developed, scoring 69.59 on the Human Development Index.
