The Republic of Glael Clington is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 313 million Clingtonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Éclatbourg. The average income tax rate is 38.0%.

The strong Glael Clingtonian economy, worth 18.8 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,217 euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, 90% of active duty GCAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, and cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glael Clington's national animal is the phoenix.

Glael Clington is ranked 258,259^th in the world and 1,189^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.67 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
