The People's Republic of New Nont Randris is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Pierce Inverarity with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.34 billion New Nont Randrisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Narciso. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient New Nont Randrisian economy, worth 434 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Retail. Average income is an impressive 130,176 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights. Crime is totally unknown. New Nont Randris's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Existential Nihilism.

New Nont Randris is ranked 140,993^rd in the world and 250^th in Europeia for Largest Populations, with 3.34 billion capita.
