The horrors of the world continue. That is why it is necessary to do what is considered scientifically taboo: to scream like a child, to lift the scream from all its structural explanations, to say ‘We don’t care what the psychiatrist says, we don’t care if our subjectivity is a social construct: this is our scream, this is our pain, these are our tears. We will not let our rage be diluted into reality: it is reality rather that must yield to our scream.'

Goat
History: Contrary to the pictures on the profile, Caldo goats are anthropomorphic. Un-contrary to the pictures on the profile, Caldo goats are ready to cave in skulls at any time.

Caldo shares its name with a goat country lost during the Teleportation. Something - divine caprice (so to speak), natural phenomena, nobody now could say - dragged thousands of goats from their homes and deposited them in this universe, the mess of strange countries seemingly from many different worlds meshed together on one planet called Orbis. Caldo had mechanical industries (dieselpunk) but no electricity then, but trade with human polities brought electricity into their purview.

Caldo struggled along through the 1980s into the 2000s in the Light Federation, a now-defunct alliance of mostly liberal polities. After a peaceful stint in Charming Friends, it has found proper economic and political support in the Revolutionary Front.
Geography
Continent: Australia
Land Area: 193,120.80 sq. km
Terrain: Dense urbanization characterizes Caldo's cities which stretch along a 120-km reach of coastline. A mixture of decentralized but messier "cottage industries" surrounding more "scientifically managed" old factory floors dominates the harbors of Saliender and Arlin Iem, the primary economic nodes of the combined metropolitan area.

Much of the nation outside the cities is desert and plateau, and native agriculture is largely supplanted by foreign import due to the cheap Orbis food market circa 2028.

Economy
Description: Inhabitants at the time of the Teleportation were used to a mode of political organization that might be called libertarian communist, with a tiered system of elected regional economic planning committees and no police force. This caused friction with foreign agencies as early Caldo sought industrial equipment and technical expertise abroad, who were generally capitalists, and internal tensions as the country was pressured to bring marketable commodities to international buyers and to make concessions with foreign capital in exchange for developmental assistance. Foreign interaction also brought the concept of "the nation" and Marxian political economic theory, and where previously it hadn't been the case, increasingly the concept of a "Caldo identity" began to take shape and Caldo politicians began to articulate themselves within an anarchist Marxian framework.

Businesses are prohibited from claiming ownership of land or buildings in Caldo since the deestablishment of the Special Economic Zones and end of the Next Step program in the 1990s where new anarchist industrial organizers were trained under the capitalist managers in exchange for benefits from the regional committees. When the program came to an end, the capitalists were expelled from their industries and their lands made public, though it would be several years longer before foreign capital could be fully erased from the landscape.
