The Fiefdom of Clyde is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums and compulsory military service. The devout population of 28.654 billion Clydesters are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Clydester economy, worth 782 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,295 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Gambling is outlawed, education and welfare spending are on the rise, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clyde's national animal is the dragon.
Clyde is ranked 103,137th in the world and 20th in Terranova for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,802.36 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
