The Technocratic Federation of Cleidor is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Turing with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.121 billion Cleidorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ecbatana. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cleidorian economy, worth 434 trillion Sapphires a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 139,314 Sapphires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, a passport is literally priceless, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cleidor's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cleidor is ranked 19,626^th in the world and 1,072^nd in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
