The Commonwealth of Claydo is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 6.951 billion Claydoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Claydoan economy, worth 372 trillion Denariis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,629 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, consuming ecstasy is a common rite of passage, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Claydo's national animal is the Elephant bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Claydo is ranked 41,774^th in the world and 2^nd in Karnickel Islands for Highest Drug Use, scoring 298.61 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
