The Fourth Republic of Calption is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Some One with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 13.089 billion People are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dulois. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient A Person economy, worth a remarkable 6,253 trillion Zimbabwe Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 477,739 Zimbabwe Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending millions on 'trust campaigns' in an effort to win back the public's support, the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Calption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Calption's national animal is the Organism, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Some thing.

Calption is ranked 3,169^th in the world and 156^th in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 97.09 on the Human Development Index.
