The People's Federal Republic of Cloud Commune is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Sovereign Comrade Lucitos with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 14.018 billion Communians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Constantinopolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Communian economy, worth a remarkable 3,351 trillion Ameroes 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 239,078 Ameroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, cloud nine refers to the top floor of skyscrapers, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cloud Commune's national animal is the Bald Aquila, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Romanitatis Christianismum.

Cloud Commune is ranked 572^nd in the world and 1^st in Berytus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 192.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
