The Commonwealth of New Amerikan Republic is a small, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29 million New Amerikan Republicians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The powerhouse New Amerikan Republician economy, worth 2.56 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 88,305 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 499,799 per year while the poor average 7,644, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, companies balk at paying their workers, and Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Amerikan Republic's national animal is the hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Amerikan Republic is ranked 4,326^th in the world and 79^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 11,094.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
