The The Holy Republic of Regione Calabria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Giovanni Leonetti with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.996 billion Calavrianoes 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Napoletiano. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Regione Calabrian economy, worth 514 trillion Calavranian Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,911 Calavranian Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Giovanni Leonetti specifying how high, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, immigrants complain that natives keep coming over and taking their jobs, and the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Regione Calabria's national animal is the Crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Regione Calabria is ranked 27,281^st in the world and 531^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 7,318.23 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
