The Democratic Republic of Clintonburge is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Robert Ellis with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.63 billion Clintonburgeans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clinton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Clintonburgean economy, worth a remarkable 1,322 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 199,414 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 669,271 per year while the poor average 44,093, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Clintonburge's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Clintonburge is ranked 260,744^th in the world and 13,966^th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.65 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
