The Dominion of Neweath is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 448 million Vikings are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berserker. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Neweathian economy, worth 46.9 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 104,755 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious education is a new government priority, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neweath's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neweath is ranked 187,150^th in the world and 8,181^st in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
