The Free Land of New NVegas is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 214 million New NVegasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The frighteningly efficient New NVegasian economy, worth 25.3 trillion Caps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 118,122 Caps, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 531,552 per year while the poor average 16,193, a ratio of 32.8 to 1.

Wishing you had children is considered a sign of child abuse, the entire entry for New NVegas in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, and policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence'. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. New NVegas's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New NVegas is ranked 50,591^st in the world and 1,602^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
