The Holy Republic of Regione Calabria is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Giovanni Leonetti with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 8.786 billion Calavrianoes 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Napoletiano. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Regione Calabrian economy, worth 957 trillion Calavranian Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,938 Calavranian Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giovanni Leonetti claims to be the epitome of family values, etiquette guides advise visitors to 'grovel gracefully', the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Regione Calabria's national animal is the Crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Regione Calabria is ranked 261,484^th in the world and 2,056^th in the Rejected Realms for Fattest Citizens, with 6.99 Obesity Rate.
