The Utopia of Calope is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Roberon with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 11.244 billion Calopeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melarom. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Calopean economy, worth a remarkable 2,177 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 193,621 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, coat closets are being re-branded as bedrooms, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, and a determined opposition debates the relative benefits of Arial and Times New Roman for days on end. Crime is totally unknown. Calope's national animal is the Honeybadger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calope is ranked 34,264th in the world and 1,643rd in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
