The Federation of Caltia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 735 million Caltians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weissturm. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Caltian economy, worth 74.5 trillion groats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,425 groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, juries are mostly made up of wealthy busybodies and ex-convicts, and trust-fund babies line up for places in community college. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Caltia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Caltia is ranked 234,771st in the world and 200th in Forest for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -7 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
