The Most Serene Republic of Clemences is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 36 million Kromacks enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.1%.

The very strong Kromackian economy, worth 2.48 trillion Kromarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 68,966 Kromarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Kromackian bee, scientists spend more time enduring government inspections than they do on actual science, and certain national parks offer tanning beds because the visitors never go outside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Clemences's national animal is the Mimir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Clemences is ranked 253,783^rd in the world and 3,341^st in The East Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 51.64 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
