The Kingdom of Calicov is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Jurich Von Licenstein IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.598 billion Calicovians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calconiea Prime. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Calicovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,503 trillion Calconiean Rupies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 227,855 Calconiean Rupies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, Jurich Von Licenstein IV isn't a national brand, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. 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 Catemsici, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ephemeral Echoes.

Calicov is ranked 4,329^th in the world and 86^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,843.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
