“Greatness, at any cost”

The Free Expanse of New Conwayland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Harbinger with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.913 billion New Conwaylandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sodorrah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.5%.

The frighteningly efficient New Conwaylandian economy, worth 657 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 168,005 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and the government is accused of being heartless by those considered brainless. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. New Conwayland's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Conwayland is ranked 159,439^th in the world and 33^rd in Equiterra for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,020.59 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
