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

The Republic of Glael Clington is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 318 million Clingtonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Éclatbourg. The average income tax rate is 38.0%.

The strong Glael Clingtonian economy, worth 19.1 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,217 euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, 90% of active duty GCAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, and cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glael Clington's national animal is the phoenix.

Glael Clington is ranked 149,919^th in the world and 1,055^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 514.9 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
