The Empire of CLU is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Erisson I Hastur with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 45.707 billion CLUians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with Environment and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CLU CLU Land. The average income tax rate is 10.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CLUian economy, worth an astonishing 11,319 trillion arcade tokens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 247,657 arcade tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Staffers take uppers in the old upper house chamber, CLUian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is totally unknown. CLU's national animal is the grid bug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CLU is ranked 2,226th in the world and 1st in Discordia for Most Cultured, scoring 251 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
