The Democratic Socialist State of Neu zangyar is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Cleb with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.696 billion Neu zangyarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Castdebac. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Neu zangyarian economy, worth 76.9 trillion simelonians a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,341 simelonians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neu zangyar's national animal is the kakapo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Clebism.

Neu zangyar is ranked 210,154^th in the world and 140^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
