The Crown Plutocracy of Neuewland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Schmidt Johnson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.109 billion Neuews are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neuhamlet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Neuew economy, worth a remarkable 3,219 trillion Gram Platinums a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 397,053 Gram Platinums, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,938,894 per year while the poor average 46,750, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.

Public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead, and teenagers sit around on their butts all day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neuewland's national animal is the Neuew Ground Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Oceanism.

Neuewland is ranked 29,103^rd in the world and 76^th in Anteria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,439.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
