The Grand Duchy of Claprozia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Benevolent Duke with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.889 billion Claprozians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eight. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.4%.

The thriving Claprozian economy, worth 531 trillion poppies a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 108,626 poppies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 308,800 per year while the poor average 30,504, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, and large sections of Claprozia have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Claprozia's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Claprozia is ranked 165,989th in the world and 2nd in Pot for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 361.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
