Clojure

The Programming Language of Clojure is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7 billion Clojureans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Clojurean economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion forints a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,974 forints, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 507,443 per year while the poor average 48,444, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clojure's national animal is the fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Clojure is ranked 26,027th in the world and 26th in Koprulu Sector for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,882.99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
