The Awesomium of New Youland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Overlord Hullo with an iron fist, and renowned for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.614 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New New You. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining industries.
The government seizes all major gold finds, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, the country is preparing for war, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. New Youland's national animal is the knarf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Awesomism, and its currency is the fol.
New Youland is ranked 3rd in the region and 52,405th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
