The Armed Republic of Cle Patia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.304 billion Cle Patians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Cle Patian economy, worth 227 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 52,784 pesos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 340,203 per year while the poor average 3,308, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cle Patia's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cle Patia is ranked 21,477^th in the world and 2^nd in The Empire of Tamriel for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,665.34 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
