The Chemicals of Calling Listening is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.789 billion Calling Listeningians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Calling Listeningian economy, worth 887 trillion good news a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,740 good news, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to liberate slaves, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calling Listening's national animal is the chemicals, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calling Listening is ranked 19,645^th in the world and 35^th in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
