Location: 000 Nudist Dreamland

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Nya Varlden is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 20.116 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Göteborg. The average income tax rate is 100%. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime is totally unknown. Nya Varlden's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the kronor.

Nya Varlden is ranked 2nd in 000 Nudist Dreamland and 46,029th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 20 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
