The Nerasian Protectorate of Caliguri is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Protector Dimitri Mitras with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.571 billion Caligurians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caliguri. The average income tax rate is 54.2%.

The very strong Caligurian economy, worth 392 trillion Nareses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,896 Nareses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Heartwarming sentiments are even hotter now, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, and the nation's youth voluntarily goes to bed early out of sheer tiredness from their working days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caliguri's national animal is the Imperial Snow Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Caliguri is ranked 284,887^th in the world and 2^nd in Imperial Continent for Most Armed, with 0.14 weapons per person.
