The Anti-Pop of Les Claypool is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Les Claypool with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, devout population of 23.459 billion Claypoolians 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.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Seas of Cheese. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.1%.

The strong Claypoolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,264 trillion Cheeses a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,915 Cheeses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,396 per year while the poor average 9,354, a ratio of 22.6 to 1.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and you're only as old as you feel. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Les Claypool's national animal is the Bodacious, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Antipop.

Les Claypool is ranked 93,120th in the world and 970th in the West Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 57.56 insults per minute.
