The Commonwealth of Clambake is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 683 million Clambakeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The strong Clambakean economy, worth 33.4 trillion Rocks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,889 Rocks, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and books are often used as kindling. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Clambake's national animal is the Hard Clam, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Clambake is ranked 46,302^nd in the world and 1^st in Clam for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 5,702.93 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
