The Empire of Klettenberg is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 551 million Klettenberger are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.1%.

The powerhouse Klettenberger economy, worth 38.3 trillion Medals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 69,440 Medals, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,469 per year while the poor average 11,962, a ratio of 22.9 to 1.

It's hunting season on loan sharks, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, most Klettenberger video games are banned in other countries, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Klettenberg City. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klettenberg's national animal is the Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Klettenberg is ranked 78,054^th in the world and 1^st in Trapper for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,408.21 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
