The Zombie Hunters of Almonaster Nuevo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alejandro de las Torres Altas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 36.382 billion Nuevanos are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mizumigari. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nuevan economy, worth an astonishing 15,266 trillion fracts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 419,612 fracts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

With increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, Mizumigari's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Mizumigari Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Almonaster Nuevo's national animal is the loon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Almonaster Nuevo is ranked 18,131^st in the world and 14^th in Canada for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,530 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
