The Federation of NewHell is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory vegetarianism, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 258 million NewHellians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The powerhouse NewHellian economy, worth 20.3 trillion Souls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 78,814 Souls, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 302,376 per year while the poor average 14,165, a ratio of 21.3 to 1.

Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones, and net monetary worth and net moral worth are considered to be directly equivalent. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. NewHell's national animal is the Bloodhound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

NewHell is ranked 252,179th in the world and 3,621st in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
