The Federal Republic of Caliarizomex is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 295 million Caliarizomexians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arical. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.4%.

The thriving Caliarizomexian economy, worth 22.4 trillion kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,934 kroner, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

The NHS is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, the "give and take" of international diplomacy often happens at gunpoint, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caliarizomex's national animal is the emu.

Caliarizomex is ranked 153,783rd in the world and 749th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 370.25 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
