The Fourth Republic of Calption is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Some One with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 12.995 billion People are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dulois. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient A Person economy, worth a remarkable 6,183 trillion Zimbabwe Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 475,853 Zimbabwe Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great A Person Liberator", large sections of Calption have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and billions of Zimbabwe Dollars are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Calption's national animal is the Organism, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Some thing.

Calption is ranked 7,377^th in the world and 377^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,966.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
