The District of Calestery

“Over on High”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The District of Calestery is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.34 billion Calesteryians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Calesteryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,169 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 46,151 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and teachers regularly paddle unruly students. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Calestery's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calestery is ranked 268,253^rd in the world and 8^th in Tunis for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.7 kickbacks per hour.
