The Suspicious antics of Clockwatching is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 39.472 billion Clockwatchingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Clockwatchingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,900 trillion seconds a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 48,158 seconds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and loans are available for students from poor families. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clockwatching's national animal is the buck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Clockwatching is ranked 91,346^th in the world and 9^th in Catlandatopia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
