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

The Purple Alicorn Republic of Newer Lunar is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Princess Luna with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.768 billion Newer Lunarians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luna Bay. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Newer Lunarian economy, worth 271 trillion Bits a year, is dominated by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,975 Bits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 287,188 per year while the poor average 12,135, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Newer Lunarian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, and the government has the power to seize property at will. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Newer Lunar's national animal is the Batpony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lunarism.

Newer Lunar is ranked 267,609^th in the world and 5^th in Wonderbolts for Smartest Citizens, with 0.36 quips per hour.
