The Most Serene Eternal Republic of Calistan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Da Big Kahuna with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, humorless population of 19.526 billion Caliwogs enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astro City. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cali economy, worth a remarkable 1,823 trillion Takoes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,363 Takoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is totally unknown. Calistan's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahunaism.

Calistan is ranked 8,312^th in the world and 278^th in the South Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,759.99 Tourists Per Hour.
