The United States of Claraxia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 43.847 billion Claraxians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oxford. The average income tax rate is 1.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Claraxian economy, worth an astonishing 12,006 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 273,833 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and Claraxia isn't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 273,592^nd in the world and 10,041^st in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 6.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
