The United States of Claraxia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 43.784 billion Claraxians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oxford. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Claraxian economy, worth an astonishing 12,597 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 287,726 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most academic research has ground to a halt, prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime is totally unknown. Claraxia's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Cult of Shimajiro.

Claraxia is ranked 291,239^th in the world and 11,355^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -970 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
