The Commonwealth of New England and Acadia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ed Markey with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.848 billion Yankees love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Yankee economy, worth 259 trillion Yankee Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,551 Yankee Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, vile black smog from coal power plants has enveloped several major urban centres, NEAA-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime is totally unknown. New England and Acadia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New England and Acadia is ranked 92,963^rd in the world and 123^rd in KAISERREICH for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 271.15 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
