Currently, the western province is represented by 5 Volins, 4 Volkspartei, and 1 Ænglish representative. The northeastern province is represented by 9 Volins and 1 Volkspartei.

Law is enforced by the Calderan Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the CBCA is also responsible for ensuring no human rights are violated by the government, as established in the 1600 Constitution. There has been a debate on whether the conscription of Volin people is a violation of the Calderan constitution, under clause 12.B, which states "No citizen of Caldera shall be subject to participation in a war that the subjected party is opposed to.", however, pro-conscriptionists agree that it's not a violation, because the Volkspartei represents everyone, and the Volkspartei supports native conscription. | Law is enforced by the Calderan Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the CBCA is also responsible for ensuring no human rights are violated by the government, as established in the 1600 Constitution.

===Sports=== | ===Sports=== | ||
' | Austro-Caldera's most popular sport is kravget, a sport invented by the Volin people in the 10th century. In kravget, there are two teams. The two teams take turns throwing 4 small dics (traditionally slices of wood from a palm tree) at opponents on the other team. If one team manages to hit an opponent without the opponent capturing the disc, then the throwing team scores a point. If the throwing team throws a disc at an opponent and the opponent catches it, then the catching team scores a point. This continues until one team has scored 23 points. | ||
Hockey and soccer are also popular in Austro-Caldera, with citizens playing in competitions across Crona. | |||
===Symbols=== | ===Symbols=== | ||
'' | Austro-Caldera's most prominent symbol is it's national seal, which features a red triangle in a sea with a sun behind it and three stars above the suns. The triangle represents Caldera island, while the three stars represent the three Calderan provinces. Another common symbol of Caldera is the Calderan finch, a type of finch that's native to Caldera. | ||

===Industries and Sectors=== | ===Industries and Sectors=== | ||
The largest parts of the economy are ship building and fishing. About 40% of jobs in Caldera are related to fishing or fish hatcheries, while 20% of jobs are related to ship building. In Caldera's provinces, the western province accounts for all ship building in the nation, while the northeast and southeast provinces economies are dominated by fishing. Further in the country, mining is a large industry as well. | |||
===Currency=== | ===Currency=== | ||
' | The official currency of Caldera is the Calderan Piece, which replaced the Eldmoran Reichsmarks in 1609. They were replaced for two reasons. The obvious reason is that Eldmora didn't want Caldera to produce its money, but the second reason is that the Volin people refused to accept Reichsmarks because they associated the color indigo (which is featured on the 1, 10, and 100 mark bills) with the sea monster, and they refused to use any collection of money that had the color indigo on it. | ||
One Calderan Piece is equal to 1/2 [[Cronan lira|Cronan Liré]]. | |||
===Healthcare=== | ===Healthcare=== | ||
Healthcare is free for everyone living in the west and northeast provinces, but healthcare in the southeast is only free to members of the Volkspartei. Healthcare is afforded through taxes, which are paid every time a Calderan buys something from a store. Furthermore, it's possible to purchase a premium pass, by paying extra money monthly to certain hospitals, Calderans are able to skip standard waiting lines and have access to faster treatment. Members of the Volkspartei receive this treatment for free in all designated government hospitals. | |||
===Labor=== | ===Labor=== | ||
Austro-Caldera has extensive labor laws that are enforced by the Calderan Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Employers are not allowed to overwork employees, force them to work on a day off, force them to work more than 6 hours in a day, and every employee has a minimum of 5 expendable vacation days every month, which is refreshed at the beginning of a new month. | |||
The Free Labor Party is a political party with the goal of raising the minimum wage from 25 pieces to 50 pieces, and lowering the work hours to 4 hours a day, as well as making it illegal to work on weekends, but the Free Labor Party has had less legislative wins than the Work Harder Party, who encourage the government to raise the maximum working hours to 12 in a day. | |||
===Transportation=== | ===Transportation=== | ||
'' | Transportation in Caldera is defined by the car. In the early ages of the country's existence, Volins simply did not travel far accross the island, due to the harsh brush and environments that separated people. This changed when the Eldmorans came to Caldera and built infrastructure like roads for horses, now the Volins were able to traverse anywhere on the island they wanted. The invention of the car only amplified the ease of access across the island, and it's now the number 1 way that Calderans commute to work. | ||
In the southeastern province, trams are also a popular way to travel, with tramlines running through cities and even up the caldera itself. | |||
===Energy=== | ===Energy=== | ||
' | Caldera doesn't use much energy, but it's entirely dominated by coal and oil for cars. | ||
===Technology=== | ===Technology=== | ||
Austro-Caldera is not a very technologically advanced country, as most of the country uses technology from the 1950s, Volkspartei cities are a lot more advanced with specific research centers going to meet all the needs of the party. | |||
==Military== | ==Military== | ||
' | Austro-Caldera's military is very large in proportion to it's population, thanks to the compulsory military service that the Volkspartei put in place for Volins. Despite the emphasis on citizens being in the military, the military is largely underfunded, with armor and weapons that at the oldest can date from 87 years ago. Whereas some weapons are much newer, like the C19 rifle which is only 12 years old, Calderan armor is largely undeveloped, with soldiers wearing designs that were replaced in other countries in 1944. | ||
