The Cursed of Calypso- is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.085 billion Calypso-ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Calypso-ian economy, worth 178 trillion golds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,126 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, 'Dragonnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Calypso-'s national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Calypso- is ranked 265,212^th in the world and 569^th in The Blades for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.98 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
