The Dominion of The Clockwork Multiverse is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 537 million Clockwork Engineers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creations Gate. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Multiversal economy, worth 17.8 trillion bytes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,064 bytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, TCM-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and being impolite in public is punishable by heavy fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Clockwork Multiverse's national animal is the quantum sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Clockwork Multiverse is ranked 198,994^th in the world and 3,314^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -74.16 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
