The Nomadic Peoples of Cloudburst Brewing is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.807 billion Cloudburstians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cloudburst Brewingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,111 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,399 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cloudburst Brewing's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Cloudburst Brewing is ranked 5,766^th in the world and 5^th in Great Breweries of the PNW for Highest Food Quality, scoring 197.17 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
