The Ever Waiting Presence of NWO ambassador is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its cynical population of 4.46 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing industries.

Gambling is outlawed, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, army rations are served on silver platters, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime is relatively low. NWO ambassador's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the curun.

NWO ambassador is ranked 1st in The Pirate States and 11,655th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -7 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
