“Long Live The Empire”

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

The Empire of Cloydicia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 15.237 billion Cloydicians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Squibble. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cloydician economy, worth a remarkable 1,889 trillion Yangs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,977 Yangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and superfoods are often seen as supervillains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cloydicia's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cloydicia is ranked 248,881^st in the world and 12,121^st in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.34 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
