The State of Clergue

“La Province”

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

The State of Clergue is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate population of 41.422 billion Clergueans 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 relatively small government is solely concerned with Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 13.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Clerguean economy, worth a remarkable 1,226 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,615 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vaccinations are mandatory, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, artists are pillars of society, and stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Clergue's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Clergue is ranked 44,231^st in the world and 2^nd in Frontierland for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,819.13 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
