The Socialist Confederation of New Clavidor is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chanceler Igor Césarovich with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, soft-spoken computers, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 1.1 billion New Clavidorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krasnograd. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New Clavidorian economy, worth 116 trillion Clavoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 105,604 Clavoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Clavidor's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Marxism.

New Clavidor is ranked 212,145^th in the world and 4,522^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
