The Commonwealth of Nueva Vaca is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 829 million Nueva Vacans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villatirano. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Nueva Vacan economy, worth 46.5 trillion cuotavacas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,108 cuotavacas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's best not to ask what goes into Villatirano Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, and the Nueva Vacan delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nueva Vaca's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nueva Vaca is ranked 175,852^nd in the world and 6,909^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 75.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
