The Empire of Clarkatopia is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 197 million Clarkatopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.

The strong Clarkatopian economy, worth 12.4 trillion cryptoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,734 cryptoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 208,025 per year while the poor average 14,122, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

Scientists pester asteroids with probes until they go away, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clarkatopia's national animal is the sweet fox.

Clarkatopia is ranked 234,071^st in the world and 29^th in The Churchlands for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
