The Meow Machine of Calorvia is a huge, genial nation, ruled by The Overmeow with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 827 million Calorvians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prrrtopia. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Calorvian economy, worth 46.1 trillion Mew Coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,740 Mew Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark, and saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calorvia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calorvia is ranked 268,178th in the world and 10th in Catopia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
