The United Soviet Republics of Calnodia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by George Jacobson with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 2.928 billion Calnodians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avennio. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Calnodian economy, worth 334 trillion Novas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,312 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calnodia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calnodia is ranked 3,439^th in the world and 3^rd in OmniOne for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,865.48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
