The Republic of Cliras is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 527 million Clirasans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sundras. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.6%.

The Clirasan economy, worth 37.8 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 71,787 lire, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, and newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cliras's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cliras is ranked 113,869^th in the world and 76^th in The Wellspring for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,909.37 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
