The Something of Calption is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Some One with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 7.801 billion People are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Some Place. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient A Person economy, worth a remarkable 2,580 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, Tourism, 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 330,842 Zimbabwe Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, visiting the best A Person restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, and the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Calption's national animal is the Organism, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Some thing.

Calption is ranked 12,241^st in the world and 708^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 147.76 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
