The Federal Republic of Nuebatus is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pedro II with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.679 billion Nuebatusians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. The average income tax rate is 43.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nuebatusian economy, worth 299 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 111,728 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, polygamy is legal, and teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuebatus's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Nuebatus is ranked 274,113^th in the world and 88^th in Callista for Most Beautiful Environments, with 9.33 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
