The Republic of Cal V is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and digital currency. The hard-working population of 4.472 billion Cal Vians 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 Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The strong Cal Vian economy, worth 249 trillion baht a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 55,814 baht, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, Cal Vian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and loading sixteen tons of laundry gets you another year older and deeper in debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cal V's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cal V is ranked 69,627^th in the world and 12^th in Boston for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,223.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
