The Technocracy of The Clockwork Republic is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Clockwork Android Prototype with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.379 billion Clockwork Republicians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them.

Average income is an amazing 343,309 Cogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Clockwork Republic's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
