The New Kingdom of Clton is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Michael Taya with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.721 billion Keltans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mineoskemon. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Keltan economy, worth a remarkable 1,608 trillion Shemnis a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,241 Shemnis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonial subjects have Keltan culture shoved down their throats, the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh, Formula One cars in Clton boast 56 miles per gallon, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Keltan nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clton's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Clton is ranked 7,273rd in the world and 152nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 8,325.5 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
