The Technocratic Empire of Clamation is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ashley Winters with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.877 billion Clamationians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vindicate City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Clamationian economy, worth an astonishing 11,267 trillion Denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 630,270 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clamation's national animal is the Lindwurm, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Clamationism.

Clamation is ranked 320,945^th in the world and 4,785^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -11.58 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
