The Federal Republic of Clarkstan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Vyaceslav Kanaev with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.373 billion Clarkstanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Layton. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Clarkstanian economy, worth an astonishing 10,184 trillion Clarkstan marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 499,890 Clarkstan marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every workday begins with group therapy, songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti, brazen mayors claim official expenses to pay for their drug habits, and the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clarkstan's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Clarkstan is ranked 191,992^nd in the world and 120^th in Anteria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
