The Royal Commonwealth of Kingdoms of Cal is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Eye Salato en with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, rampant corporate plagiarism, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 40.004 billion Calis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tel. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kingdoms of Calian economy, worth an astonishing 14,081 trillion meeps a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 352,007 meeps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Many friends and relatives of Prime Minister Eye Salato en have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, and it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kingdoms of Cal's national animal is the magpie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kingdoms of Cal is ranked 294,246^th in the world and 26^th in The Commonwealth Of Furry Peoples for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
