The Technocratic Empire of Clamation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ashley Winters with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.662 billion Clamationians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vindicate City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Clamationian economy, worth an astonishing 11,064 trillion Denars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 626,435 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, military spending is on the increase, children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, and hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clamation's national animal is the Lindwurm, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Clamationism.

Clamation is ranked 750th in the world and 22nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Secular, with 99.17 Atheism Rate.
