The Armed Republic of NewImperia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by High Honorable Sad Onion with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.495 billion NewImperians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NewImperian economy, worth 256 trillion Dollars 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 102,992 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone, the police insist that racism does not exist, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NewImperia's national animal is the Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Imperialism.

NewImperia is ranked 266,341^st in the world and 5,181^st in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -192.37 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
