The Socialist Confederation of New Clavidor is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chanceler Igor Césarovich with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 1.035 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 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Clavidorian economy, worth 105 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 Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 102,324 Clavoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fat-shaming is now public policy, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, and the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers. 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 11,422^nd in the world and 566^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 30.98 average smiles per day.
