The Principality of Newannistan is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.239 billion Newannistanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 54.5%.

The very strong Newannistanian economy, worth 83.9 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,679 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, and the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Newannistan's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Newannistan is ranked 84,459^th in the world and 3,285^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,911.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
