The People's Republic of New Bon is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.039 billion New Bonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noveria. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Bonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,479 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 293,623 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime is totally unknown. New Bon's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Bon is ranked 1,249^th in the world and 15^th in the West Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 77.31 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
