The Technocratic Federation of Cleidor is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Turing with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and frequent executions. The compassionate, humorless population of 3.203 billion Cleidorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ecbatana. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cleidorian economy, worth 448 trillion Sapphires a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 139,967 Sapphires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, and school history books often refer to Turing as "that imperialist pig dog". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cleidor's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cleidor is ranked 43,155^th in the world and 2,249^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 18.02 average smiles per day.
