The People's Republic of Caloc is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 874 million Calcians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Werben. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Calocian economy, worth 61.3 trillion Izloes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,084 Izloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The newest shade developed by Caloc's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caloc's national animal is the Dragón, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Caloc is ranked 278,924^th in the world and 3,563^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
