The United Socialist States of New Clwyd is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 102 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 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Clwydian economy, worth 5.72 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 56,059 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, politicians frequently make unusual poses during speeches in hopes of inspiring the next internet fad, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. 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 45,506^th in the world and 859^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 104.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
