The Cīvitās of From New World is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Imperator Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.573 billion Cīvī enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Roma. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cīvem economy, worth a remarkable 2,527 trillion Sestertiuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 333,793 Sestertiuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

From New World isn't what it used to be, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, and crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. From New World's national animal is the toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Moha.

From New World is ranked 1,190^th in the world and 23^rd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 165.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
