The Fiefdom of Clonegarth 020 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Elegarth with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, soft-spoken computers, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.404 billion Clonegarth 020ians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capitalandia. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Clonegarth 020ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,515 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,092 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clonegarth 020's national animal is the Black Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Elegarthism.

Clonegarth 020 is ranked 88,868th in the world and 70th in House Elegarth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,081.39 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
