The Holy Empire of An Clar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gaius Melkor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.089 billion Clarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The Clarian economy, worth a remarkable 6,164 trillion banner yoyoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 204,891 banner yoyoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Clarian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, and the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. An Clar's national animal is the magpie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Melkorianism.

An Clar is ranked 1,415^th in the world and 15^th in Europe for Highest Economic Output, with 6,164 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
