The New Order of Fascistica is a colossal, devout nation, notable for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.552 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of GermRomia. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining industries.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Fascistica's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Fascism, and its currency is the ReichsLiraMark.

Fascistica is ranked 87th in belgium and 116,241st in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
