The United Terran Authority of Caldariat is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Wonyoung with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.143 billion Caldarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerenza. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Caldarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,614 trillion Atlases a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 309,435 Atlases, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, national stress about the waning heir-line is causing a rise in alopecia, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caldariat's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Getting On With It.

Caldariat is ranked 500th in the world and 14th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 197.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
