The Republic of Clear Bay is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 22.324 billion Dreamers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Mill Run. The average income tax rate is 81.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Dreamer economy, worth a remarkable 2,519 trillion Greenbacks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 112,872 Greenbacks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, baiting is a national sport, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Clear Bay's national animal is the Sea Otter, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Clear Bay is ranked 6,598^th in the world and 7^th in Right to Life for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,631.13 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
