The Free Republic of NewLeinster is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sean McKelly with an even hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The humorless population of 21.269 billion NewLeinsterians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NewLeinsterian economy, worth a remarkable 2,189 trillion Thalers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,960 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, there's a big brother in every prison, and on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NewLeinster's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vedulism.

NewLeinster is ranked 258,343^rd in the world and 32^nd in Red Wolf Alliance for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 43.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
