The Survivors of New Hornopolis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hatshepsut with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.239 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 concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diego Mount. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Gambling.

Every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. New Hornopolis's national animal is the Boer Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is A Regular Religion, and its currency is the Dino Dollar.

New Hornopolis is ranked 2,361st in Balder and 110,780th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -5 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
