The Principality of Island of Calipso is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.105 billion Calipsans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haelea. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Calipsan economy, worth 62.5 trillion Aelons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,574 Aelons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, builders across Island of Calipso are blocked up with orders for new public loos, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Island of Calipso's national animal is the Calipsan Gull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Island of Calipso is ranked 71,022^nd in the world and 238^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 94.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
