The Empire of New Englandtera is a huge, devout nation, ruled by Emperor O with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 989 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Englandtera Town. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over New Englandtera. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Englandtera's national animal is the Megalodon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Imperial Dollar of New Englandtera.
New Englandtera is ranked 1st in NEL and 14,104th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
