The Democratic Socialist State of Cachard Calia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jane Fisher with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.529 billion Cachard Calians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesbiana. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Cachard Calian economy, worth 677 trillion gaylis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,097 gaylis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, Jane Fisher's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cachard Calia's national animal is the Queer Democratic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Cachard Calia is ranked 14,904^th in the world and 12^th in Gay for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,245.09 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
