Nation/Cleoye

The Commonwealth of Cleoye is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Harrison Herbert with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.51 billion Seskains 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buluu. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seskain economy, worth 216 trillion Dominions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 143,172 Dominions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, Burmese with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime is totally unknown. Cleoye's national animal is the Burmese, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
