The Constitutional Republic of New acardia is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by President William Danchick with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 8.242 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Government City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New acardia's national animal is the double headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dollar.

New acardia is ranked 1st in The National Alliance and 29,967th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 151 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
