The Dominion of Neweath is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by VLADIMIR with an even hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.337 billion Vikings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berserker. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neweathian economy, worth 813 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 187,472 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, write-in candidate 'VLADIMIR Sucks' is perennially popular, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neweath's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wotanism.

Neweath is ranked 273,936^th in the world and 10,168^th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -269.58 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
