The Federal Republic of Klothia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 440 million Klothians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Klothia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Klothian economy, worth 49.5 trillion Klothian Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,410 Klothian Marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 606,471 per year while the poor average 10,812, a ratio of 56.1 to 1.

Toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Klothia, and adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klothia's national animal is the Lion.

Klothia is ranked 288,886^th in the world and 2,785^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
