The Republica of Clarinatia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Charles Auguste Mercier with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.218 billion Clarinatians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rigset. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Clarinatian economy, worth 597 trillion Notes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 185,574 Notes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 609,571 per year while the poor average 42,367, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Clarinatian mussels the biggest in Valaryia, anti-government web sites are springing up, ex-cons are paid to remain law-abidingly dull, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime is totally unknown. Clarinatia's national animal is the Crane, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Clarinatia is ranked 27,269^th in the world and 11^th in Valaryia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 52.16 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
