The Republic of Calabo is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Josiah Walker with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.241 billion Calaboans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calabotopia. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Calaboan economy, worth a remarkable 1,206 trillion Fazdaxes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 193,276 Fazdaxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, former slaves find themselves being herded onto ships once more, APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calabo's national animal is the Black Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Calabo is ranked 168,884^th in the world and 2,194^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 561.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
