The Nile State of New Khemet is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Pharaoh Thutmose V with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.212 billion Egyptians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Memphis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Egyptian economy, worth 807 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 191,657 dinars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,418,353 per year while the poor average 7,755, a ratio of 182 to 1.

Pinkie promises are a matter of life and death, citizens are spontaneously attracted to each other, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, and government contracted tax collectors often 'accidentally' over-charge citizens and skim the surplus. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. New Khemet's national animal is the Nile crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Zeus-Amon.

New Khemet is ranked 15,142^nd in the world and 4^th in One big Island for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 354.18 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
