“You stand where you sit”

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

The Colony of New Niyasca is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 21.124 billion New Niyascans 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant New Niyascan economy, worth 294 trillion saars 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 13,956 saars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, and Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Niyasca's national animal is the finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Niyasca is ranked 88,099^th in the world and 1^st in New Islands for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
