The Republic of New Clarkadonia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Aaron Clark with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.89 billion New Clarkadonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Clark City. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Clarkadonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,308 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 69,265 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and it is rumoured that Aaron Clark uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Clarkadonia's national animal is the basset hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Clarkadonia is ranked 31,209^th in the world and 1^st in The Gator Swamp for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 72.88 Effective Tax Rate.
