The Kingdom of Calicov is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jurich Von Licenstein IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 1.442 billion Calicovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calconiea Prime. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Calicovian economy, worth 181 trillion Calconiean Rupies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 126,204 Calconiean Rupies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jurich Von Licenstein IV's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the tenet of free speech is held dear, books are so highly regarded in Calicov that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and nuclear physics is the most popular course at university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calicov's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neko.

Calicov is ranked 33,100th in the world and 462nd in Europe for Safest, scoring 108.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
