“too close to home”

The Commonwealth of Caloon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.92 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is avowedly atheist, genetic researchers have been expelled, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caloon's national animal is the great kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the australian dollar.

Caloon is ranked 99th in the region and 48,301st in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
