The Tropical Paradise of Clang Island is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Wysiwyg with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.761 billion Clang Islanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maia. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Clang Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,668 trillion prudoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,994 prudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, a degree in King Wysiwyg Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clang Island's national animal is the tree frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is sun worship.

Clang Island is ranked 6,811th in the world and 2nd in The Scandalian Alliance for Most Cultured, scoring 142 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
