The Republic of Clone Pilot 12 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion.

The Clone Pilot 12ian economy, worth 79.4 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 57,982 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clone Pilot 12's national animal is the Droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
