The Tropical Island of Claysville is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Clay with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 2.666 billion hamsters are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cherrypolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Claysvillean economy, worth 558 trillion Bells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,478 Bells, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 625,629 per year while the poor average 54,888, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.
The nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes. Crime is totally unknown. Claysville's national animal is the bug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The cult of the Bughors.
Claysville is ranked 5,963rd in the world and 5th in Lands End for Highest Food Quality, scoring 194.96 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
