The Dictatorship of Old New Jersey is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 356 million Floridians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 60.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Floridian economy, worth 13.9 trillion jersey bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 39,147 jersey bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, Leader has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, the majority of the country's traffic wardens have been sacked overnight, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old New Jersey's national animal is the batman, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Old New Jersey is ranked 91,330^th in the world and 86^th in Hell for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,721.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
