The Jingoistic States of New Kulmerland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hermann von Hermanski with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.037 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torun. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Abortions are routinely performed in New Kulmerland's hospitals, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kulmerland's national animal is the Dachshund, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Piernik.

New Kulmerland is ranked 480th in Europe and 123,586th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -6 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
