The Nomadic Peoples of The Cleve is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mike Polk Jr with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.791 billion The Cleavers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lindoria. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Clevean economy, worth a remarkable 3,581 trillion Shiny Pebbles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 190,573 Shiny Pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government expenses are beyond compare, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cleve's national animal is the Zebra Mussel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Cleve is ranked 283,141st in the world and 4,944th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
