The Rigged Game of Claw Machine is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Victor Zelka with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.502 billion Claw Machineans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acre. The average income tax rate is 32.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Claw Machinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,372 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 94,632 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

School teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and Victor Zelka affectionately nicknames supporters by number. Crime is totally unknown. Claw Machine's national animal is the stuffed bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Claw Machine is ranked 33,110^th in the world and 7^th in Top Hat Kingdom for Safest, scoring 107.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
