The Kingdom of New Byzantinium is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 106 million New Byzantiniumians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Byzantiniumian economy, worth 4.15 trillion soliduses a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,144 soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven, and new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Byzantinium's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Byzantinium is ranked 46,999^th in the world and 31^st in Byzantion for Safest, scoring 103.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
