The Peoples Republic of New United Common-lands is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jezza Corbyn with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.618 billion Commoners 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascension City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Common-lands economy, worth a remarkable 2,968 trillion Common Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 308,589 Common Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, one does not simply walk into the tundra, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, and over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New United Common-lands's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Common Yodlism.

New United Common-lands is ranked 856^th in the world and 2^nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Highest Poor Incomes, with 281,125.52 Standard Monetary Units.
