The Empire of Calgasia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Lancelot von Habsburg with a fair hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, anti-smoking policies, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.062 billion Calgasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldstadt. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Calgasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,261 trillion Kroner a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 139,225 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Seafood restaurants regularly receive complaints that the food is still moving, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, heroes long thought dead are promptly killed upon their return, and a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calgasia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calgasia is ranked 29,142^nd in the world and 1,366^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 76,347.16 Standard Monetary Units.
