The Utopia of Calope is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Roberon with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 11.321 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 2,189 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 highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 193,444 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, Roberon panders to nontraditional families, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Roberon, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Calope's radio stations. Crime is totally unknown. Calope's national animal is the Honeybadger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Calope is ranked 4,792nd in the world and 249th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 131.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
