The Commonwealth of New Gandor is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Edward Thompson with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.565 billion New Gandorians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Union. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The frighteningly efficient New Gandorian economy, worth 743 trillion Caps a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 162,849 Caps, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, family bonding sessions are considered immoral and are banned, and real estate agencies are being replaced by naval recruitment offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Gandor's national animal is the Wolverine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Gandor is ranked 149,866^th in the world and 146^th in Federation of Conservative Nations for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 46.62 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
