The Community of Clown school is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, lack of airports, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 343 million Aspiring Clowns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Circus. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Clown schoolian economy, worth 26.2 trillion Chuckles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 76,332 Chuckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clown school's national animal is the Red-trunked Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Clown school is ranked 251,993^rd in the world and 1,051^st in Europeia for Most Authoritarian, with 354.21 milliStalins.
