The Blank of New Margaux is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Blank with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 3.471 billion New Margauxians 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 relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Triablo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.1%.

The powerhouse New Margauxian economy, worth 327 trillion Marguins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,470 Marguins, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory daycare is provided by the government, hotels often double as quarantine zones, it's best to decline if Blank offers to buy a round of drinks, and tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Margaux's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Margaux is ranked 109,684th in the world and 363rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,171.37 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
