The Free Land of New North Cymru is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 288 million New North Cymruans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New North Cymruan economy, worth 13.5 trillion pounds 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. 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 46,811 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable, children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New North Cymru's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New North Cymru is ranked 13,074^th in the world and 31^st in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,542.58 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
