The Theocracy of Caladraxia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dear Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.964 billion Caladraxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caladrax DC. The average income tax rate is 78.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Caladraxian economy, worth an astonishing 10,485 trillion Sigils 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, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. 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 437,545 Sigils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Dear Leader's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, Caladraxians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, game show contestants scramble to fish trash out of the South Ice Dragon Sea, and workers' complaints never reach central planning. 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. Caladraxia's national animal is the Ice Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Personality Cult.
Caladraxia is ranked 224th in the world and 8th in Osiris for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 55,493.19 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
