The Democratic States of Caladann is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working population of 235 million Caladannians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The Caladannian economy, worth 15.8 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 67,281 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, movie references are legally admissible in court, eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance, and the latest political memes depict Leader as an overly-choreographed robot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Caladann's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Caladann is ranked 85,802^nd in the world and 4,404^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 65.62 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
