The Federation of The Holy Caltro is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Victor Steal with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.714 billion Caltroans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Presidia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Caltroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,626 trillion Denars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 242,273 Denars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,253,204 per year while the poor average 25,446, a ratio of 49.2 to 1.
Corporate 'hostile takeovers' now involve ICBMs and main battle tanks, all you have to do is pray to get into The Holy Caltro, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Holy Caltro's national animal is the Caltroan hamagoose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Great Pantheon.
The Holy Caltro is ranked 253,748th in the world and 4,290th in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.81 Obesity Rate.
