The Zombie Hunters of Almonaster Nuevo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alejandro de las Torres Altas with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and flagrant waste-dumping. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 41.427 billion Nuevanos are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mizumigari. The average income tax rate is 1.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nuevan economy, worth an astonishing 19,260 trillion Fracts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 464,928 Fracts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Almonaster Nuevo, and descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Almonaster Nuevo's national animal is the loon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is nun.

Almonaster Nuevo is ranked 838^th in the world and 1^st in Canada for Highest Average Incomes, with 464,928.77 Standard Monetary Units.
