The Socialist Federal Republic of New Isman is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Alexander Jamison Newman with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.429 billion Ismanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veyna. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ismanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,445 trillion Dineroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 138,641 Dineroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Both criminals and civilians are DOA, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Isman's national animal is the Ebony silverwing eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Isman is ranked 231,677^th in the world and 7^th in Montrandecs Neighbours for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 22,459.88 Standard Monetary Units.
