The Templar Knights of Clandedai is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Pope Boniface VIII with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.545 billion Knights are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acre. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Knightly economy, worth 181 trillion Gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,336 Gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Clandedai as a reminder of their "special relationship", scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, and the full title of Hon Pope Boniface VIII Vcte Mgve MF TKCLM GCKE runs to several pages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clandedai's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Clandedai is ranked 33,939^th in the world and 884^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
