The Allied States of Anewland is a massive, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.175 billion Anewmen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newland. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Anewman economy, worth 111 trillion Lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 95,082 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, mothers drive their college-graduate children to work, Leader has just been declared ruler of Anewland in an international press conference, and rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anewland's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Anewland is ranked 62,034^th in the world and 690^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 28.62 flags saluted per person per day.
