The Federal Republic of Calahy is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Federal President Caroll Eigen with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.052 billion Calahians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darmschtadt. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Calahyian economy, worth 344 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 167,788 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calahy's national animal is the Double-headed eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Calahy is ranked 22,176^th in the world and 575^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 45.07 flags saluted per person per day.
