The Popsicle Pete Nation of Clench is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Joseph with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.892 billion follower of Josephs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joseph City. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Josephic economy, worth an astonishing 34,004 trillion monies a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 1,033,832 monies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,084,452 per year while the poor average 177,163, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Clench's national animal is the viper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Josephism.

Clench is ranked 24,937^th in the world and 395^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 36.01 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
