The Computer Generated Dominion of Calculum is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by SiSAE with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, vat-grown people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.522 billion Calculumiani are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, 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 the Server. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Calculumian economy, worth a remarkable 4,215 trillion Bytes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 311,716 Bytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diaper-wrapped falafel is a fan-favorite, state media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping, emergency responders spend more time in the air than giving air, and people wouldn't be seen dead without their guns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calculum's national animal is the Ti-84, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Deus Est Machina.

Calculum is ranked 18,879th in the world and 1st in The ME Sector for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,127.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
