The Most Serene Republic of Clemences is a large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 105 million Kromacks enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 15.7%.

The thriving Kromackian economy, worth 8.01 trillion Kromarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 76,239 Kromarks, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, anti-government web sites are springing up, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, and the nation's air force consists of strongly-worded letters folded into paper airplanes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Clemences's national animal is the Mimir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Clemences is ranked 9,868^th in the world and 212^th in The East Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.4 percentage of bribes refused.
