The Federal Socialist Republic of Grand Caledonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Eric O'Grady with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.983 billion Caledonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterbury. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Grand Caledonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,239 trillion Caledonian Shillings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,939 Caledonian Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders are advising that Premier Eric O'Grady's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, freedom is never freely given — only when the alternative is too expensive, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Caledonia's national animal is the Zealandian Moa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grand Caledonia is ranked 53,056th in the world and 42nd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Stationary, with 833.73150113372 days.
