The Republic of Clone Trooper 18 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.372 billion Clone Trooper 18ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.5%.

The strong Clone Trooper 18ian economy, worth 78.8 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,398 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clone Trooper 18's national animal is the Droid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Clone Trooper 18 is ranked 262,478^th in the world and 4,337^th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
