The United Socialist States of Callid is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Oscar Weirman with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.641 billion Callidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callidium. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Callidian economy, worth 942 trillion Callidian Quams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,093 Callidian Quams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Callid's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Callid is ranked 272,408th in the world and 242nd in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 8,509.28 Standard Monetary Units.
