The Federal States of Calcaterra is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Edmund Oakford with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.498 billion Calcaterricans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North West City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Calcaterrican economy, worth a remarkable 4,896 trillion Guildings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 279,821 Guildings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prank shows are so hot right now, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, and costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Calcaterra's national animal is the Cardinal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Calcaterra is ranked 202,092nd in the world and 11th in United Nations UN for Most Stationary, with 44.88227683088 days.
