The Best Girl of Neo389 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed population of 5.866 billion Neo389ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 31.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Neo389ian economy, worth 259 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,161 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo389's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Neo389 is ranked 187,446^th in the world and 1,822^nd in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
