The Disputed Territories of Empire of Caldrasa is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 233 million Caldrasi are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The all-consuming Caldrasian economy, worth 21.8 trillion Caldras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 93,565 Caldras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, Caldrasian scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, and seafood restaurants assure customers 'If it lives in the sea, it's on our menu'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Caldrasa's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Empire of Caldrasa is ranked 34,870^th in the world and 146^th in Europeia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,892.5 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
