The Colony of Clamshell Island is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 2.29 billion Clamshell Islandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Industry receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 20.6%.

The Clamshell Islandian economy, worth 104 trillion scudoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 45,263 scudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clamshell Island's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
