The Socialist Confederation of New Clavidor is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chanceler Igor Césarovich with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.057 billion New Clavidorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krasnograd. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Clavidorian economy, worth 108 trillion Clavoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 102,680 Clavoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Krasnograd spends billions upgrading public transport, autocrats are persona non grata, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Clavidor's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Marxism.

New Clavidor is ranked 32,685^th in the world and 1,190^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 79 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
