The United Terran Authority of Caldariat is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Wonyoung with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.352 billion Caldarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerenza. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Caldarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,670 trillion Atlases a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 309,009 Atlases, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, Air Caldariat is rumored to receive more government funding than the Caldarian Air Force, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caldariat's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Getting On With It.

Caldariat is ranked 152,923^rd in the world and 5,888^th in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 690.23 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
