The Emirate of Cloudburst is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 5.939 billion Cloudburstians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.4%.

The Cloudburstian economy, worth 304 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,250 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cloudburst's national animal is the Kitsune.

Cloudburst is ranked 196,257^th in the world and 32^nd in The Azure Archipelago for Most Developed, scoring 52.71 on the Human Development Index.
