The Island Republic of East Calypso is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Anaïs with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 13.342 billion Calypsoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calypsopolis. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming East Calypsoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,113 trillion Minoan tala a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,426 Minoan tala, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, being Empress Anaïs has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. East Calypso's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

East Calypso is ranked 10,892nd in the world and 8th in Minoa for Most Stationary, with 2,231.222183128 days.
