The Civile République of Kaliegoss is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vox Personnes Amélie Corvinus with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.314 billion Kaliegossians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valenreaux. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kaliegossian economy, worth 564 trillion Baubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 170,050 Baubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Valenreaux Times is sold out, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon. Crime is totally unknown. Kaliegoss's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Collective Thought Process.

Kaliegoss is ranked 5,210^th in the world and 95^th in The Communist Bloc for Smartest Citizens, with 127.53 quips per hour.
