The Colony of New Prumerica is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Governor Frederick Schmidt with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.257 billion New Prumericans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Berlin. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The New Prumerican economy, worth 459 trillion Aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,840 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Prumerica's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

New Prumerica is ranked 174,721^st in the world and 511^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 373.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
