The Socialis Statum of Nova Babilonia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Laurentius Hammurabi with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.647 billion latin-chaldeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria de Chaldeam. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient latin-chaldean economy, worth 213 trillion Shekels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 129,781 Shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and the endangered saltwater humpback de volucribus sphinge is only seen in captivity programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Babilonia's national animal is the de volucribus sphinge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Astrology.

Nova Babilonia is ranked 213,149^th in the world and 1,254^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.42 kickbacks per hour.
