The United Provinces of Clockwork Lands is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Landmaster Edo Brante with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 7.626 billion Clockworklandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coppergate. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Clockworkland economy, worth a remarkable 2,400 trillion vermunts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 314,833 vermunts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,752,273 per year while the poor average 28,298, a ratio of 61.9 to 1.

Descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, a The Kodiak Republic Tourist Association survey has rated Clockwork Lands #1 for number twos, people talk about things being better when men were men, and a degree in Landmaster Edo Brante Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime is totally unknown. Clockwork Lands's national animal is the sable, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Epicuranism.

Clockwork Lands is ranked 84,068^th in the world and 40^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,678.09 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
