“We Will Endure”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United Socialist States of New Clwyd is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 171 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Clwydian economy, worth 11.4 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 66,599 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze, and the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea. 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 53,140^th in the world and 622^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 140.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
