The Federal Republic of Calovar is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 716 million Calovarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Calovarian economy, worth 83.1 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 116,038 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has implemented minimum wage laws, being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, Big Beef has a steak in national politics, and the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calovar's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Calovar is ranked 1,631^st in the world and 3^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,658.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
