The Socialist Confederation of New Clavidor is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chanceler Igor Césarovich with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.124 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 120 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 106,963 Clavoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, humble workers tempt fate for a taste of airline caviar, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes. 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 235,484^th in the world and 4,654^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.86 kickbacks per hour.
