“Victory through strength. Strength through sacrifice.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Holy Empire of New New Dineenistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by God-King with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.726 billion New New Dineenistanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dineenistoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient New New Dineenistanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,877 trillion organs 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 an amazing 306,196 organs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,636,143 per year while the poor average 30,061, a ratio of 54.4 to 1.

The banshee wail foretells skies of death, the nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams, most pop videos prominently feature the New New Dineenistanian flag, and the booming slave trade is now government-funded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. New New Dineenistan's national animal is the tree monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dineenianism.

New New Dineenistan is ranked 27,997^th in the world and 1,535^th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,923.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
