The Grand Hive of The New Changeling Empire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High-Empress Lacewing with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 25.349 billion Changelings are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of High Solitude. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Changeling economy, worth a remarkable 9,026 trillion Valcourian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 356,089 Valcourian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Minstrels carrying coconut shells provide sound effects wherever their nobles wander, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, the media seems excessively interested in what High-Empress Lacewing is wearing this season, and politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Changeling Empire's national animal is the Manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The New Changeling Empire is ranked 250th in the world and 5th in The Alliance of Dictators for Lowest Crime Rates, with 232.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
