The Principality of Island of Calipso is a massive, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.089 billion Calipsans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haelea. The average income tax rate is 21.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Calipsan economy, worth 61.6 trillion Aelons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,607 Aelons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, builders across Island of Calipso are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Island of Calipso's national animal is the Calipsan Gull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Island of Calipso is ranked 71,400^th in the world and 241^st in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 94.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
