The Socialist Republic of Cleston is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.625 billion Clestonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Clestonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,405 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 184,275 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Clestonian weed picker are way up, ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cleston's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Children of the Cathedral.

Cleston is ranked 217,820th in the world and 6,201st in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 30.762306701 days.
