The Republic of Welsh Guards is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 8.857 billion Welsh Guardsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Welsh Guardsian economy, worth 238 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,957 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens sporting mohawks must carry family trees on them at all times, wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, and governments opposing Welsh Guards are beset by rebels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Welsh Guards's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Welsh Guards is ranked 205,964^th in the world and 106^th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 37.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
