The Impossible Pantisocracy of Nuweland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ignacio Quaresma with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 32.829 billion Nuwelanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Healthcare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hammersdorf-Vilamartel. The average income tax rate is 84.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nuwelandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,249 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 190,376 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, cities are engulfed by smog, mandatory electronic currency is a boon for credit card companies and government surveillance, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuweland's national animal is the ring-tailed lemur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran Christianity.

Nuweland is ranked 212,130^th in the world and 1,060^th in Europe for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -199.11 on the Hayek Index.
