The Freethinker's Spading Union of New Kamakuri is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 26.589 billion New Kamakurians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kasumi col Annette. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Kamakurian economy, worth a remarkable 4,962 trillion Valines a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 186,644 Valines, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, and anti-vacs campaigners claim the government is inserting weird devices into their bodies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kamakuri's national animal is the Grey Speckled Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarian-Deism.

New Kamakuri is ranked 19,200^th in the world and 1,033^rd in Balder for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,874.92 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
