The Patagonian City of El Calafate is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Guanaco population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 18.543 billion El Calafateans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient El Calafatean economy, worth 649 trillion Argentinian pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,007 Argentinian pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Calafate's national animal is the Guanaco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

El Calafate is ranked 118,546^th in the world and 1^st in Argentino Lake for Most Primitive, scoring -33.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
