The Dùthchas of New Sylvan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Co-founder Tristram Black with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 4.663 billion New Sylvaners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Healthcare, with Spirituality, Education, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sylvan Town. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient New Sylvaner economy, worth 149 trillion New Sylvan pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,060 New Sylvan pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sylvan's national animal is the Boobrie - unofficial state symbol, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is De facto ChristoPaganism.

New Sylvan is ranked 110,207^th in the world and 14^th in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Largest Populations, with 4.66 billion capita.
