The People's Republic of New Bon is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.982 billion New Bonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noveria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.7%.

The frighteningly efficient New Bonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 294,804 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, homophobia is off the menu, and ratings for schools' curricula range from 'Pure as the Driven Snow' to 'Late Night TV'. Crime is totally unknown. New Bon's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Bon is ranked 72,910th in the world and 867th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,195.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
