The Fourth Republic of Calption is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Some One with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 12.618 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 government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dulois. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient A Person economy, worth a remarkable 5,881 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 466,121 Zimbabwe Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Childish pranks are no laughing matter, the nation is under martial law, customs officials often double as wedding officiants, and party officials write speeches condemning capitalism while sunbathing at partitioned beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 10,038^th in the world and 575^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 112 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
