The Democratic Republic of Revolutionary Greater Wales is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.061 billion Revolutionary Greater Welshmen enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Cardiff. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Revolutionary Greater Welsh economy, worth 54.3 trillion ceiniogs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 51,140 ceiniogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and hungry families offer spare change to their social workers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Revolutionary Greater Wales's national animal is the Ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Revolutionary Greater Wales is ranked 10,486^th in the world and 4^th in Crimson Spire for Nicest Citizens, with 31.57 average smiles per day.
