The Holy Empire of An Clar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gaius Melkor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 41.768 billion Clarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The very strong Clarian economy, worth an astonishing 10,864 trillion banner yoyoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 260,113 banner yoyoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jury selection begins with explaining what a jury is, the magpie has a hungry look, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. An Clar's national animal is the magpie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Melkorianism.

An Clar is ranked 10,967^th in the world and 230^th in Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,082.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
