The Nomadic Peoples of New Jurney is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 682 million New Jurneyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish New Jurneyian economy, worth 13.6 trillion sand dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 19,993 sand dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Jurney's national animal is the anglerfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Jurney is ranked 88,006^th in the world and 4^th in Oswegostan for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,832.68 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
