The Sultanate of Les Claypool is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Bodacious population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 889 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, the Environment, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Seas of Cheese. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18%. A healthy private sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Uranium Mining.

Les Claypool has designated The Seas of Cheese as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Les Claypool's national animal is the Bodacious, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Cheese.

Les Claypool is ranked 46,376th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
