The Republic of Kluz is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Czar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.262 billion Kluzians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kluzian economy, worth a remarkable 4,289 trillion Kluz Zloties a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 128,971 Kluz Zloties, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Office thieves tell their employers kleptomania is a pregnancy symptom, consuming ecstasy is a common rite of passage, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Kluz City for fear of causing a fuss. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kluz's national animal is the Asiatic Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kluz is ranked 286,173^rd in the world and 784^th in Europe for Least Corrupt Governments, with 63.58 percentage of bribes refused.
