The United Socialist States of Newlibertopia is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 103 million Newlibertopians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Newlibertopian economy, worth 2.32 trillion Libs 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 black market in Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. 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 22,517 Libs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and vegetarianism is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown. Newlibertopia's national animal is the Cats, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Newlibertopia is ranked 24,260th in the world and 104th in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 75.54 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
