The Divine Empress of New New Atlantis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Divine Empress with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.894 billion New New Atlanteans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newest Atlantis City. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient New New Atlantean economy, worth 634 trillion Petals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 219,406 Petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, childish pranks are no laughing matter, the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, and weather advisories predict sunshine with a chance of spontaneously combusting spacecraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New New Atlantis's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Empress Worship.

New New Atlantis is ranked 4,703rd in the world and 8th in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
