The Tropical Paradise of Clang Island is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Wysiwyg II with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 33.62 billion Clang Islanders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maia. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Clang Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,986 trillion prudoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,322 prudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, the newest shade developed by Clang Island's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', solid-gold toilets are Clang Islandian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clang Island's national animal is the tree frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is sun worship.

Clang Island is ranked 10,764th in the world and 6th in The Scandalian Alliance for Nicest Citizens, with 30.98 average smiles per day.
