The Republic of Clinton County is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 225 million Clinton Countyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Clinton Countyian economy, worth 4.92 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 21,868 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clinton County's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Clinton County is ranked 318,765^th in the world and 15^th in Counties for Most Developed, scoring 46.07 on the Human Development Index.
