Nation/Clenpo

The Holy Empire of Clenpo is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 131 million Clenpoans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Clenpoan economy, worth 8.26 trillion Reais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,029 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The newspaper industry is subsidised by the government in order to keep it afloat, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and the government is pursuing a new programme aimed at promoting cultural sophistication. Crime is relatively low. Clenpo's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
