The Republic of Cleric Beast is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.34 billion Cleric Beastians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.8%.

The very strong Cleric Beastian economy, worth 180 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,018 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,221 per year while the poor average 11,287, a ratio of 16.7 to 1.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, international tensions are high as Cleric Beast threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cleric Beast's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Cleric Beast is ranked 80,425^th in the world and 6^th in The mediterranean commonwealth for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 1,420.96 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
