The Matriarchy of Clemten is a large, genial nation, renowned for its fear of technology, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 146 million Clemtenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Clemtenian economy, worth 2.51 trillion quents a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 17,177 quents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The arms industry is strictly regulated, worship days have replaced sick days, punting clubs and posh accents have been added to the national curriculum, and foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clemten's national animal is the blue horned cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Clemten is ranked 267,714^th in the world and 170^th in Karma for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
