The Technocratic Federation of Cleidor is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Turing with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, humorless population of 2.728 billion Cleidorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, 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 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Cleidorian economy, worth 275 trillion Quantums 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 101,051 Quantums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques, gold stars and candy are said to be the best way to Turing's heart, and people with dyslexia are told to tough through it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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, and its national religion is Scientific Humanism.

Cleidor is ranked 111,275^th in the world and 5,170^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 11.19 kickbacks per hour.
