The Principality of Clerk Suternia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.282 billion Clerk Suternians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The thriving Clerk Suternian economy, worth 650 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,246 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,465 per year while the poor average 17,266, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, "Leader got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Clerk Suternia's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
