The Dominion of The Calabash Protectorate is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nkosi Zulu with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 2.409 billion Calabash Protectorateans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vryheid. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Calabash Protectoratean economy, worth 297 trillion Tiles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 123,527 Tiles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The country routinely whitewashes uncomfortable parts of its history, both criminals and civilians are DOA, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and in its new More is More campaign the government advertises obese men and women posing coquettishly with baked goods to spare their blushes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Calabash Protectorate's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Calabash Protectorate is ranked 9,003^rd in the world and 461^st in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,693 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
