The Community of Newlandiaa is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 1.516 billion Newlandiaans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Newlandiaan economy, worth 175 trillion florins 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. 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 an impressive 116,094 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the Motherland's muscle-bound athletes won 786 medals at the last United Benigtopia Games, and state dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Newlandiaa's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Newlandiaa is ranked 190,998^th in the world and 20^th in Benigtopia for Largest Populations, with 1.52 billion capita.
