The Matriarchy of Cluica is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 23 million Cluicans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Cluican economy, worth 1.33 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 57,748 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cluica's national animal is the bison, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cluica is ranked 307,791^st in the world and 4,340^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -3.16 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
