The Burgerverein of Clockwork Lands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sequens Volonte with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 1.239 billion Clockworklandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andiilumith. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Clockworkland economy, worth 179 trillion gears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 145,215 gears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clockwork Lands's national animal is the sable, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Clockwork Lands is ranked 104,841^st in the world and 158^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,130.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
