To curb their aggressive tendencies, the Caldari actively pursue and sponsor a range of sporting activities. Many of these are bloody, gladiatorial-like competitions, while others are more like races. But whatever the sport, the Caldari love betting on the outcome, making gambling a massive industry in the State about EVE ISK.
The Caldari State offers its citizens the best and the worst in living conditions. As long as you keep in line, do your job, uphold the laws and so forth, life can be fairly pleasant and productive. But for those who are not cut out for this strict, disciplined regime life quickly becomes intolerable. They lose their respect, family; status, everything, and the only options left to them are suicide or exile. Although not xenophobic as such, the Caldari are very protective of their way of life and tolerate only those foreigners that stick to the rules about EVE ISK.
Despite the declared holiday, the majority of State workers are already back at work and toiling harder than ever. Heths exemplary leadership has given new meaning to their individual contributions about EVE ISK, and they are eager to ensure that the State does not fail to capitalize upon its recent successes through lack of effort on the part of its people. Productivity is up, morale is up, and there is a new feeling of camaraderie between workers of all stripes.
Most do not expect to understand the political maneuvering they know must occur at the highest levels of the State; while some murmur about the exact mode of Heths rise to power, the fact that he now appears to be a true Caldari leader is enough for the vast majority of workers. When it comes to the Gallente, they are enthused by the States demonstration that it truly is militarily, politically, and economically superior to the Federal model, and now that they have claimed their rightful place as the dominant power in this part of the cluster, they are keen to use the opportunity to correct other perceived inequities.
