The United States of Claraxia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 43.572 billion Claraxians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oxford. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Claraxian economy, worth an astonishing 12,337 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,152 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime is totally unknown. Claraxia's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Cult of Shimajiro.

Claraxia is ranked 659th in the world and 29th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 451 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
