The Pink Holy Christmas of Calbout is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Santa Claus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5 billion Calboutians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Calboutian economy, worth 633 trillion gold bars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 126,728 gold bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods, not even good behaviour will get transgender inmates any special perks, "Santa Claus got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calbout's national animal is the bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Calbout is ranked 11,468^th in the world and 30^th in Christians for Most Developed, scoring 89.8 on the Human Development Index.
