The Caretaker of New Babylonians is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by William Faa II with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory vegetarianism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.084 billion New Babyloniansians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma. The average income tax rate is 84.0%.

The frighteningly efficient New Babyloniansian economy, worth a remarkable 4,401 trillion matts a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 141,605 matts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Maintaining economic growth is no laughing matter, the clergy of Wicca remains a single-sex institution, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, and retirees make up the bulk of foreign students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Babylonians's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wicca.

New Babylonians is ranked 19,548th in the world and 1st in Kingdom of Alexandria for Smartest Citizens, with 64.97 quips per hour.
