The State of Cloudslee is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.049 billion Cloudsleeans, 8.61 billion of whom are zombies, are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Cloudsleean economy, worth a remarkable 1,054 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 34,324 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 139,169 per year while the poor average 5,635, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Cloudslee has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cloudslee's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cloudslee is ranked 238,430^th in the world and 1^st in Cloudslee for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
