The State of CL is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.095 billion CLians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong CLian economy, worth 694 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 32,943 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 223,972 per year while the poor average 1,770, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and CL has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. CL's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CL is ranked 50,571^st in the world and 73^rd in Omega Prime for Highest Food Quality, scoring 33.27 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
