“Peace - the promise of Cleon the First”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Imperial Core World Trantor of Cleon the First is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Demerzel with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 6.501 billion Citizens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trantor. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cleon the Firstian economy, worth a remarkable 3,867 trillion Gold Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 a breathtaking 594,899 Gold Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Demerzel will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Cleon The Firstian Navy, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cleon the First's national animal is the Vampire Star Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Luminism.

Cleon the First is ranked 910^th in the world and 2^nd in United Earth Government for Largest Black Market, with 6,464 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
