The United Socialist States of New Clwyd is a large, safe nation, notable for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 74 million New Clwydians 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 Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Clwydian economy, worth 4.00 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 54,068 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The New Clwyd City Times is sold out, New Clwydian Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock, lavish state dinners in New Clwyd City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Clwyd's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Clwyd is ranked 82,562^nd in the world and 862^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,546.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
