The Republic of New Bastis is a huge, safe nation, ruled by MC Frosty Fresh with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 793 million New Bastisians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novigrad. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient New Bastisian economy, worth 87.2 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,947 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, online text-based nation-simulation games require you to prove you're a sovereign country before you can play, New Bastis isn't what it used to be, and even God cannot save you in New Bastis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Bastis's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
New Bastis is ranked 69,101st in the world and 80th in The Wellspring for Nudest, with 192 cheeks per square mile.
