The Republic of Clone Pilot 17 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.541 billion Clone Pilot 17ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Clone Pilot 17ian economy, worth 42.0 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,282 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, the drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clone Pilot 17's national animal is the Droid.

Clone Pilot 17 is ranked 252,047^th in the world and 5,157^th in eta for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2.79 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
