The Elemental Planes of Clerics is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Cleric with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 13.624 billion Clericsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Environment. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Clericsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,416 trillion elements a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,965 elements, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and the first half of cabinet meetings include The Cleric complaining about the reasonable nation theory (Clerics has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clerics's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Elementalism.

Clerics is ranked 26,446^th in the world and 1^st in Dungeons And Dragons for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 995.83 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
