The Caldan Union of The Resurgent Dream is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gwendolyn with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 40.591 billion Caldans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government is primarily concerned with Education, with Defense, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarana. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Resurgent Dreamian economy, worth an astonishing 10,672 trillion Sterlings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 262,936 Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Snitches get riches, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime is totally unknown. The Resurgent Dream's national animal is the Caldan lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Resurgent Dream is ranked 6,149^th in the world and 2^nd in Western Atlantic for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,099.36 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
