The Federation of Calruski is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 78 million Calruskians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Calruskian economy, worth 3.87 trillion Cormmis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,639 Cormmis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost all products in Calruski are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, euthanasia is legal, and children complain that school food is too flavorful. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calruski's national animal is the The Golden Eagle.

Calruski is ranked 252,438^th in the world and 906^th in Concord for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 136.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
