The Kingdom of Calicov is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jurich Von Licenstein IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed population of 1.487 billion Calicovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calconiea Prime. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Calicovian economy, worth 189 trillion Calconiean Rupies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,215 Calconiean Rupies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, and political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads. 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 Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neko.

Calicov is ranked 21,164^th in the world and 151^st in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 46.09 flags saluted per person per day.
