The Republic of East Gia Newskers is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 13.724 billion Newskersians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhine. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Newskersian economy, worth a remarkable 4,169 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 303,789 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. Crime is totally unknown. East Gia Newskers's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

East Gia Newskers is ranked 2,289^th in the world and 62^nd in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 68.83 average smiles per day.
