The Empire of Nanew is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Philis with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working population of 2.605 billion Nanews have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HAGAR. The average income tax rate is 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Nanewian economy, worth 347 trillion Nas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,449 Nas, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cities are engulfed by smog, there's never enough space in space, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nanew's national animal is the Nanky, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gamers.

Nanew is ranked 30,890^th in the world and 176^th in Europe for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 284,625 Standard Monetary Units.
