The Technocratic Federation of Cleidor is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Turing with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 2.853 billion Cleidorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ecbatana. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cleidorian economy, worth 336 trillion Sapphires a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 117,967 Sapphires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mouth-frothing Cleidorian can be confused for a rabid Golden Eagle, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, finders keepers is the law of the land, and Turing can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cleidor's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cleidor is ranked 8,903^rd in the world and 551^st in Balder for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,805.78 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
