The Cavorting of Clickety-Click is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Fred Astaire with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 17.222 billion Clickety-Clickians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cuxhaven. The average income tax rate is 50.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Clickety-Clickian economy, worth a remarkable 3,171 trillion Yams a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,129 Yams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Those who cut young children are told to cut it out, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clickety-Click's national animal is the Boot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dallyism.

Clickety-Click is ranked 14,006th in the world and 591st in Lazarus for Nudest, with 918.25 cheeks per square mile.
