The Fourth Republic of Calption is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Some One with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 12.896 billion People 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 is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dulois. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient A Person economy, worth a remarkable 6,120 trillion Zimbabwe Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 474,634 Zimbabwe Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

War criminals are given full state funerals, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, fire and brimstone sermons are accompanied by napalm and fragmentation bombs, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Calption's national animal is the Organism, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Some thing.

Calption is ranked 103,756^th in the world and 3,712^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,746.95 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
