The Republic of Clone Pilot 16 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, digital currency, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 1.279 billion Clone Pilot 16ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Clone Pilot 16ian economy, worth 55.7 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,529 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, and kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clone Pilot 16's national animal is the Droid, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Clone Pilot 16 is ranked 143,999^th in the world and 1,697^th in eta for Most Developed, scoring 56.07 on the Human Development Index.
