The Confederacy of New Palmdale is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by George Newman with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 4.359 billion New Palmdaleans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kramer. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The frighteningly efficient New Palmdalean economy, worth 902 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 207,059 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining. Crime is totally unknown. New Palmdale's national animal is the hippo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wallyism.

New Palmdale is ranked 18,005^th in the world and 9^th in Africa for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 6,252.69 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
