The Dùthchas of New Sylvan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Co-founder Tristram Black with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 4.539 billion New Sylvaners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Healthcare, although Spirituality, Education, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sylvan Town. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient New Sylvaner economy, worth 161 trillion New Sylvan pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is 35,561 New Sylvan pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sylvan's national animal is the Boobrie - unofficial state symbol, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is De facto ChristoPaganism.

New Sylvan is ranked 95,770^th in the world and 13^th in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
