The Confederacy of HMS Welshman is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.477 billion HMS Welshmanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.3%.

The HMS Welshmanian economy, worth 185 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 41,422 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The HMS Welshman Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HMS Welshman's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

HMS Welshman is ranked 80,207^th in the world and 3^rd in Tanith for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
