The Free Land of New Walvis Bay is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.886 billion New Walvis Bayians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving New Walvis Bayian economy, worth 364 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 74,669 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,174 per year while the poor average 15,974, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Walvis Bay's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

New Walvis Bay is ranked 65,437^th in the world and 3^rd in United Alliances for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,611.43 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
