The Federal Republic of Calovar is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 716 million Calovarians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Calovarian economy, worth 83.4 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 116,467 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Calovarian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, Union City's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, and the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Calovarian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calovar's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Calovar is ranked 1,659^th in the world and 3^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,626.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
