The Kingdom of Calicov is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Jurich Von Licenstein IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.567 billion Calicovians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calconiea Prime. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Calicovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,492 trillion Calconiean Rupies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 227,291 Calconiean Rupies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Calicovian basket weaving sector is on the brink of collapse as cheap imports flood the market, fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calicov's national animal is the Catemsici, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ephemeral Echoes.

Calicov is ranked 3,236th in the world and 80th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 203 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
