The Calvinist-Lutheran Federacy of Neu Heidelberg is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hubert von Berge Dumont with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 34.016 billion Heidelbergers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouvelle Geneve. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.
The strong Heidelberger economy, worth a remarkable 4,072 trillion Luthers a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,733 Luthers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Glamping Heidelbergers won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neu Heidelberg's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Calvinism and Lutherism.
Neu Heidelberg is ranked 6,630th in the world and 1st in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
