The Empire of Landofclouds is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 183 million Landofcloudsians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The strong Landofcloudsian economy, worth 8.95 trillion icebucks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 48,918 icebucks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 315,284 per year while the poor average 3,066, a ratio of 102 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, artists are pillars of society, and road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Landofclouds's national animal is the brids, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Landofclouds is ranked 296,346^th in the world and 537^th in Starlight for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 110.81 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
