The Republic of Kluz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Czar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 33.062 billion Kluzians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kluzian economy, worth a remarkable 3,643 trillion Kluz Zloties a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 110,217 Kluz Zloties, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and every street in the nation contains at least three law firms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kluz's national animal is the Asiatic Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kluz is ranked 38,274^th in the world and 405^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 217.79 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
