The Dominion of Neweath is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 716 million Vikings are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berserker. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Neweathian economy, worth 55.6 trillion rubles 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, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 77,692 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, many Vikings struggle to find outlets for their pent-up competitive juices, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neweath's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neweath is ranked 243,490^th in the world and 11,849^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.12 crimes per hour.
