“One Nation Among Many”

The Federation of New Allied Australia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Clinton Truong with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.251 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federal District of Melbourne. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

All judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Allied Australia's national animal is the Platypus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Federation Dollar.

New Allied Australia is ranked 50th in the region and 2,996th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
