The Republic of Caligur is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The General Congress with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 1.58 billion caligurences are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamberly. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong caligurí economy, worth 120 trillion white Pantolios a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,481 white Pantolios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer white Pantolios to support "struggling" industries, there's always a Bigtopian willing to eat The General Congress's table scraps, vanity is the constant enemy of dignity, and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caligur's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pantoliyism.

Caligur is ranked 82,744^th in the world and 191^st in Carcassonne for Most Developed, scoring 66.28 on the Human Development Index.
