The Peoples Republic of New United Common-lands is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jezza Corbyn with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.938 billion Commoners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascension City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Common-lands economy, worth a remarkable 3,067 trillion Common Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 308,709 Common Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, extreme political groups are outlawed, Ascension City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and international tensions are high as New United Common-lands threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New United Common-lands's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Common Yodlism.

New United Common-lands is ranked 315,950^th in the world and 311^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Primitive, scoring -1281.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
