Great Clam
Slang name for Midas Makorum
While Chalakanesia's presidency moved from Pearl to Pearl every seven years, the federal treasury itself stayed put on Midas Makorum, the Second Pearl. That was a rational system. To move the federal treasury around Chalakanesia would have created an ongoing administrative nightmare, exposing a large chunk of the nation's treasure to shipwreck and theft. However, this rationality offended many, who thought it unfair that the Great Clam should have a permanent lockgrip on the lucrative treasury jobs. [NoP Ch13]
