“The Red Dragon Leads the Way!”

The Gweriniaeth Ffederal of Beddgelert is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.507 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akink. The average income tax rate is 30%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Work Credit Unit WCUs each year, sex changes are routinely performed at Beddgelert's hospitals, voting is voluntary, and referenda are held for every conceivable government action. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Beddgelert's national animal is the baedd gwyllt, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Geletian Druidism, and its currency is the Work Credit Unit WCU.

Beddgelert is ranked 38th in the region and 51,384th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
