The Federal Republic of Clan Lynx Remnants is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Taneal Greyshoulders with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 5.81 billion Clanners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velstorm. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Clan Lynx economy, worth 605 trillion Lynx Standard Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,241 Lynx Standard Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, billion-Lynx Standard Credit sentient AI killbots roll through the streets dispensing hot dogs and T-shirts, and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clan Lynx Remnants's national animal is the Black Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Voidism.

Clan Lynx Remnants is ranked 22,852^nd in the world and 260^th in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 259.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
