The Irradiated Wasteland of The New California Republic is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Kimball with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.99 billion New California Republicans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shady Sands. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New California Republican economy, worth a remarkable 7,765 trillion NCR Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 369,960 NCR Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, prison visits increase substantially during election years, and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". Crime is totally unknown. The New California Republic's national animal is the Brahmin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

The New California Republic is ranked 411^th in the world and 15^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 470 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
