The Fiefdom of Cloppenburg is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 482 million Cloppenburgers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 13.8%.

The strong Cloppenburger economy, worth 27.5 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 57,019 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, election debates consists mostly of two grey suits arguing over how to best preserve the status quo, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, and Cloppenburg has designated Cloppenburg City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cloppenburg's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cloppenburg is ranked 216,517^th in the world and 12^th in Cities for Largest Governments, scoring 10.15 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
