The Floating City of Evil Cloudsdale is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Rainbow Dash with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.068 billion flock are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rainbow Factory. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Pegasi economy, worth a remarkable 9,709 trillion Gold Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 460,860 Gold Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, all footpaths have tollbooths, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evil Cloudsdale's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Goddess Rainbow Dash.

Evil Cloudsdale is ranked 269,059^th in the world and 2^nd in The Rainbow Factory for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.21 crimes per hour.
