The Noble House of House Caleb is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Majordomo Linda Shanks with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.843 billion Serfs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fantasy Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.1%.

The strong Serf economy, worth 477 trillion Mannas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 53,983 Mannas, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Mannas each year, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, the New Serf Thesaurus lists "love" and "oppress" as synonyms, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. House Caleb's national animal is the Eagle Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

House Caleb is ranked 202,219^th in the world and 7^th in Calebs Haven for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -3.61 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
