The Republic of Calabo is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Josiah Walker with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.28 billion Calaboans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calabotopia. The average income tax rate is 92.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Calaboan economy, worth a remarkable 1,235 trillion Fazdaxes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 196,749 Fazdaxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, the credibility of anti-government demagogues is undermined by government claims that they smell like poo, politicians cheer the nation's surging death rate, and corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calabo's national animal is the Black Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Calabo is ranked 97,102^nd in the world and 1,373^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,432.9 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
