The Classification of Cimpl is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Avatar with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 23.957 billion Cimpltonnes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cimpl. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cimpl economy, worth a remarkable 5,525 trillion boonbonds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 230,632 boonbonds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, and Cimpl politics is literally a blood sport. Crime is totally unknown. Cimpl's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Cimpl is ranked 19,751^st in the world and 1^st in Homestuck for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 68,497.87 Standard Monetary Units.
