The Youth Republic States of N3wgr0unds is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Francis Robespierre with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.766 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastille. The average income tax rate is 83%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Tourism.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and military spending is on the increase. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. N3wgr0unds's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Score.

N3wgr0unds is ranked 2nd in Angolis and 2,737th in the world for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 30 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
