The 25 Districts of New Libraria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Head with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.965 billion New Librarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babel. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Librarian economy, worth 154 trillion ahns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,426 ahns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, The Head has just been declared ruler of New Libraria in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds. Crime is totally unknown. New Libraria's national animal is the serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Libraria is ranked 82,082^nd in the world and 307^th in Europeia for Highest Average Incomes, with 78,426.57 Standard Monetary Units.
