The Federal Republic of Clarkstan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Vyaceslav Kanaev with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and national health service. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.313 billion Clarkstanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Layton. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Clarkstanian economy, worth an astonishing 10,027 trillion Clarkstan marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 493,659 Clarkstan marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, foreign musicians that President Vyaceslav Kanaev dislikes are turned away at the border, people's charity begins and ends at home, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clarkstan's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Clarkstan is ranked 288,351^st in the world and 157^th in Anteria for Most Primitive, scoring -558.02 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
