The Republic of Clock is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.951 billion Clockians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The very strong Clockian economy, worth 176 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 59,884 guilders, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 251,967 per year while the poor average 9,235, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, organ donation is compulsory, military spending recently hit a new high, and invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Clock's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Clock is ranked 161,036^th in the world and 14^th in New Western Atlantic for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
