The United Socialist States of New Vonderland is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 750 million Vonderlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windsreach. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient New Vonderlandian economy, worth 28.8 trillion Pezzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 38,441 Pezzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vonderland's national animal is the Sky Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Vonderland is ranked 45,510^th in the world and 1^st in The United Socialists Republics for Safest, scoring 104.08 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
