The Feudal Kingdom of Calentia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.145 billion Calentians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Calentian economy, worth 104 trillion rucals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,732 rucals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Every day at 4am Calentians wake to pray for the sun to rise, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Calentian grocery store, red rinses are frequently applied to grey hair, and the government is pursuing a new programme aimed at promoting cultural sophistication. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calentia's national animal is the boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calentia is ranked 73,818^th in the world and 136^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,505.8 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
