The Mathematicians' Home of The Math of Clarence is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Gauss with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 1.715 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fermat. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Artists are pillars of society, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, bizarre-looking creatures called 'average orangutandogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Math of Clarence's national animal is the average orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the unit.

The Math of Clarence is ranked 1st in United States of Europe and 5,399th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
