The Cīvitās of From New World is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.766 billion Cīvī are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Roma. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cīvem economy, worth a remarkable 4,297 trillion Sestertiuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 336,664 Sestertiuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, money grows on trees, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. From New World's national animal is the toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Moha.

From New World is ranked 164,826^th in the world and 100^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 665.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
