The Calormene capital city is Tashbaan, a vast walled metropolis near the northern desert separating Calormen from its northern neighbors, located near the mouth of the Calormen River.
The Calormene style of speech is akin to that of the people in the ancient epic Shahnama by the poet Ferdowsi, and anonymous Calormene poets are quoted whose moralizing style resembles that of the Persian poet Saadi.
The polytheistic Calormene religion represent the notion of the "pagan" religions in general, as opposed to the Christianity represented by Aslan (who Calormenes believe to be a demon).

In C. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, a Tisroc is a ruler of Calormen.
Whenever a Calormene citizen speaks of the Tisroc, he adds "may he live forever," and it is considered blasphemy not to say this.
Lewis made up a name for the ruler and nobility of Calormen while still referring to the son of a Tisroc as a prince.

The confusion is fueled by the appearance of a dryad.
The Calormenes tell the disguised Tirian that they are leading the dwarfs to calormen to work in the Tisroc's mines.

Meanwhile, the Calormenes, the people of the great empire to the south with long standing animosities towards Narnia, have developed internal allies in Narnia, in the form of an Antichrist-figure, Shift the Ape, who persuades his somewhat resistant "friend" Puzzle the Donkey to pose as Aslan.
Shift spreads the heresy that Aslan and the Calormene god Tash (one of the figures in the series with Satanic qualities) are one and the same.
The Calormenes are seen as repulsive, dirty people who follow the god Tash, a Satanic figure that takes away the souls of the wicked characters and demands evil deeds as a service to him.

 Narnia (more)
The one redeeming factor, to me, is in The Last Battle, where the young Calormene ends up in "heaven" in spite of having worshipped Tash (the Calormene god) all his life.
I think Lewis was trying to make Calormen different and strange and, perhaps from the persepective of the main characters, this made it feel 'bad' (but certainly not from the omniscient narrator).
I think there's a consistent suggestion that the Calormen nation as a whole was bad because they worshipped the wrong god (Tash; and the description of Tash is pretty damn horrific), notwithstanding the fact that there were occasional good Calormen characters.

I was never as keen on the horse’s boy, although the horses were and are a lot of fun.
I know there are a lot of complaints that Lewis is racist because he made the Calormenes Arabesque (and I mean that in an overstated, loopy way) and then showed a lot of bad ones, but I’m not totally sold on this.
I’d rather it have been the story of the Calormene Emeth, who is faithful to his own god and therefore allowed to enter the afterlife-Narnia, because most of the other characters seem to be there mostly to tie up loose ends.

I mean today the media would never let Lewis get away with Calormene today.
