Cloning

Once the player reaches enough influence, sometime after the further stages of the world domination plan (after the Deep Web) are introduced to them, the cloning lab is unlocked. It is accessed by an icon on the top left, opposite the wiretaps button. Clones "give unique bonuses", boosting the profits from producers by x5, x10 or even x50.

Overview
Each clone costs 5 diamonds, and any repeated clones are turned into bonus lackeys. Upon a successful purchase, the clone's name, picture and information are shown.

Clone influence bonuses aren't global - each clone works for a specific stage of the plan, e.g. Agent Smite boosts wars only in the Deep Web. The player can view a clone's profile and additional short description by tapping the clone's tank icon in the corner of a producer. Gray tank icons are unoccupied until a suitable clone is found.

It is probable but unclear as to whether the player can unlock an uncommon clone to replace a common one already in use for a specific producer (or gold to replace either).

Unlockable clones
To view a list of the common and uncommon clones unlockable for each stage, of the plan see their respective pages at the Deep Web, Dictatorship, Area 51 and Banks.

Known rare clones
There clones are the hardest to obtain, but the most powerful, offering a x50 profit boost. A small aura of light shines out around the clones' tank icon in the corner of the producer. Due to their rarity, little is known about them, though there is presumably one rare clone for each producer in each stage of the world domination plan ingame.

It is also possible that these are only obtained from the "one-time offer" shown to the player at some point in the game, which offers a rare clone obtainable with real cash.

Trivia

 * The player is prompted to "tap to open the tank" when purchasing a clone. The tank cracks when clicked, and after three taps, it cracks open to reveal the clone.
 * Occasionally, a clone is unlocked that works only in the next stage of the world domination plan (one not yet unlocked by the player). For example, the player might not have unlocked the Dictatorship yet, but get Chancellor Ice who boosts government influence in the Dictatorship. Such clones will stay idle until the stage is unlocked.
 * You can see how many idle clones you have waiting unlocked on the next stage of the plan by viewing that stage using the arrows at the top of the screen. A line of gray clone tanks are shown along the bottom, and any unlocked clones will show as a green tank. Note, other than that you cannot view the clones' name or profile from there.
 * When the lab is unlocked, the illuminati servant Nailitper tells the player that it is here that "we clone influential people to secretly substitute their real counterparts!". This can be taken quite literally, where many clones resemble real people. E.g. Bill Doors who "doesn't like apples", a play on Bill Gates, the founder of the Apple company.
 * The first ever clone unlocked by the player is free - and seems to by default always be Agent Smite.
 * The tank icon used to access the cloning lab shakes encouragingy at between regular time intervals.
