An individual who aligns themselves with the ideology that machines are superior to biological entities. as opposed to Darwinism, the belief that biology is superior to industry. A Clanker nation focuses on industrial productivity, using machines to do manual labour and fighting. Though not pretty, Clanker armies are tougher than Darwinist armies, as steel can withstand more than flesh.
Clanker armies use armored walkers, ranging from small scouting units no bigger than horses to massive land-ships that rival their naval counterparts. Of course that also means Clankers are adept in using similarly industrial technologies, such as Tesla cannons and internal combustion engines.
In the novels by Scott Westerfield, the Central Powers nations of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire are exclusively Clanker. the only known hybrid nation mentioned is America, which uses both Clanker and Darwinist machines to suit whatever role it feels best.

a Clanker Nation is one where heavy industry and machines are the dominant economic and military force:
the 1914 Kaiser-Reich German Empire is a Clanker Nation, using such machines as the Dreadnought class SMS Beowulf, a landcruiser decorated with 10 17 inch cannons.

Get the Clanker mug.A swelling of the ankle and lower calf so as to obliterate the normal tapered boundary between the two. While it may be simply be deposition of adipose tissue (fat), or even excessive standing, in some cases the cankle may represent a symptom of kidney disease or even congestive heart failure, in that the swelling could be caused by excessive fluid retention in the lower leg which the failing heart is unable to pump uphill or the kidneys are unable to excrete into the urine.
While the term is ordinarily used in a sexist manner to insult a woman's beauty, cankles may represent more than a mere cosmetic problem, but actually a dangerous situation calling for evfaluation by a physician.

The middle-aged woman was so ashamed of her cankle(s) that she had long worn long dresses to obscure them but, later, only after she had been hospitalized with severe kidney and heart disease, did her family realize that the cankle(s) were an early sign of her illness.
