The Sculptor of Claes Oldenburg is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Coosje van Bruggen with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.126 billion Oldenburgers 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oldenburger economy, worth a remarkable 1,439 trillion spoonbridges a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,753 spoonbridges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, prison is a nightmare, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Coosje van Bruggen's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Claes Oldenburg's national animal is the caterpillar tracks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pop Art.

Claes Oldenburg is ranked 193,145^th in the world and 18^th in Seinfeld for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
