The San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.

-The '''[[Seven Seas of Rhye]]''' is a major body of water in the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. It forms the western border of Calsahara and the United States and is almost entirely within the [[Principality of Rhye]].

-The Seas are comprised of a series of shallow pools of heavily alkaline water.  The actual number of pools or "seas" varies from season to season— the designation "seven" is arbitrary. The Seas are subject to seasonal flooding, and during the early spring or late fall they are transformed from individual shallow pools into a river that flows into the Soda Lake of San Luis Obispo County. Due to the heavily alkaline nature of the water in the Seven Seas of Rhye, the only life found there are brine shrimp or fairy shrimp. These are most prevalent during the early spring when the Seas are full of fresh rain water and the shrimp eggs from the previous season suddenly spring to life. This type of brine shrimp is popularly known as "Sea Monkeys."
-At certain times of the year, the Seas become a popular feeding ground for migratory birds looking to enjoy the massive numbers of brine shrimp.
