The Republic of East Gia Newskers is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 15.065 billion Newskersians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhine. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Newskersian economy, worth a remarkable 4,649 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 308,609 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, the Newskersian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime is totally unknown. East Gia Newskers's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

East Gia Newskers is ranked 207,045^th in the world and 3,838^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 14.51 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
