The Kingdom of New Stanland is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 683 million New Stanlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient New Stanlandian economy, worth 32.3 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,307 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is almost non-existent. New Stanland's national animal is the Dear.

New Stanland is ranked 215,336^th in the world and 314^th in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
