The Dominion of The Clockwork Multiverse is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 561 million Clockwork Engineers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creation's Gate. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Multiversal economy, worth 19.2 trillion bytes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,172 bytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Armed security details escort librarians to their homes, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, and estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Clockwork Multiverse's national animal is the quantum sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Clockwork Multiverse is ranked 204,350^th in the world and 3,273^rd in The East Pacific for Most Secular, with 15.8 Atheism Rate.
