The Empire of CLU is a behemoth, cultured nation, ruled by Erisson I Hastur with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 51.147 billion CLUians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government is dominated by the Department of Education, although Environment and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CLU CLU Land. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CLUian economy, worth an astonishing 12,528 trillion arcade tokens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,946 arcade tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, Erisson I Hastur's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, today's secret ingredients are blood, sweat, and tears, and the sun now sets on the CLUian Empire. Crime is totally unknown. CLU's national animal is the grid bug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CLU is ranked 83,847^th in the world and 1^st in Discordia for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,353.29 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
