Calamari County

Sunken Scroll 17, describing Callie and Marie's childhoods in Calamari County.

Calamari County (Calamari Region in the European version of Splatoon), or simply Calamari, is a location outside of Inkopolis.

Description

Calamari County is the hometown of Callie and Marie, the Squid Sisters, and their grandfather, Cap'n Cuttlefish. It hosts the annual Youth Folk-Singing Contests, the first of which launched the singing duo into the spotlight. Although Calamari is never directly seen in Splatoon, it is referenced multiple times, most notably in Sunken Scroll 17 and an Inkopolis News segment regarding Port Mackerel. Pearl was raised and participated in a singing contest here, implying that its singing contests launched many idols into fame, not just Callie and Marie.
