The Empire of NewIberia is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 68 million NewIberians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 60.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The NewIberian economy, worth 3.25 trillion Imperial Reais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,855 Imperial Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Eminent domain has been abolished, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, the police insist that racism does not exist, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NewIberia's national animal is the Iberian Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NewIberia is ranked 74,011^th in the world and 758^th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 23.27 kickbacks per hour.
