The Republic of Calabo is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Josiah Walker with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.247 billion Calaboans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calabotopia. The average income tax rate is 92.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Calaboan economy, worth a remarkable 1,212 trillion Fazdaxes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 194,086 Fazdaxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", the nation frequently puts profits over peace, Calaboans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, and property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calabo's national animal is the Black Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Calabo is ranked 14,384^th in the world and 350^th in The East Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,796.84 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
