The Matriarchy of Cluicor is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 298 million Cluicorians 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 is dominated by the Department of Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.0%.

The all-consuming Cluicorian economy, worth 18.6 trillion pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 62,297 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Cluicorians, and education is transforming people into first-rate snobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Cluicor's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Cluicor is ranked 262,309^th in the world and 4,257^th in eta for Nicest Citizens, with 8.23 average smiles per day.
