Esoteric interpretation
The English phrase is a mocking nickname for the CIA, contributing distrust and ridicule to the poster’s intelligence-agency theme. Its Russian rendering as clones changes the suggestion from satire to biological copying. For the English map, this entry should therefore be read as political wordplay, without inventing a cloning program from a translation error.

The Russian translation changes clowns to clones, explaining the apparent mismatch.
Definition & background
A disparaging expansion of the initials CIA as “Clowns in America” in the creator’s English map. The matching Russian adaptation translates it as “clones in America”, changing the meaning.
Evidence & research
This is a pejorative nickname in the poster’s intelligence-agency narrative. It supplies no evidence for either a cloning program or the poster’s broader allegations.
Reading the original
English V10 explicitly prints CIA 'CLOWNS IN AMERICA.' The matching Russian adaptation changes this to 'Clones in America.' This is a translation alteration, not evidence of a separate cloning concept.
