The Lands Conquered for Christ of Neu Babylon is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Our Lord with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.053 billion Neu Babylonians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Neu Babylonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,781 trillion Merits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 221,204 Merits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Neu Babylon's national animal is the Babylonian Horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Neu Babylon is ranked 4,944th in the world and 14th in Fifth Empire for Fattest Citizens, with 26.45 Obesity Rate.
