The Republic of New Interzone is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.82 billion New Interzoneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serpicopolis. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong New Interzonean economy, worth 109 trillion Somas a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,176 Somas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, the newest shade developed by New Interzone's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Interzone's national animal is the Bilby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Interzone is ranked 13,470^th in the world and 32^nd in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 117.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
