The Steampunk Dimension of The Clockwork Multiverse is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by High Governess Irene with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 4.418 billion Clockworkers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Providence. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Multiversal economy, worth 351 trillion bytes 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 Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Average income is 79,662 bytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, the government is seen as openly hostile to all religion, contestants on The Clockwork Multiverse's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Clockwork Multiverse's national animal is the mechanical quantum sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Clockwork Multiverse is ranked 12,676^th in the world and 285^th in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,618.93 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
