The Technocratic Empire of Clamation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ashley Winters with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.346 billion Clamationians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vindicate City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Clamationian economy, worth a remarkable 9,715 trillion Denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 594,343 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Artists are pillars of society, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clamation's national animal is the Lindwurm, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Clamationism.

Clamation is ranked 276th in the world and 14th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Poor Incomes, with 380,787.41 Standard Monetary Units.
