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

The Empire of Cloydicia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 12.327 billion Cloydicians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Squibble. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cloydician economy, worth a remarkable 1,492 trillion Yangs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 121,055 Yangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. 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 14,923^rd in the world and 760^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 80.99 Atheism Rate.
