The Commonwealth of New Lakemba is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Committee with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.773 billion New Lakembans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canberra. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient New Lakemban economy, worth a remarkable 6,760 trillion New Lakembian Standard Kebabs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 341,899 New Lakembian Standard Kebabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, recognizing the New Lakemban flag qualifies you for citizenship, and customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags. Crime is totally unknown. New Lakemba's national animal is the Animal Kingdom, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Lakemba is ranked 290^th in the world and 15^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,365.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
