The Colony of New Capitol is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning bovina population. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.906 billion New Capitolians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.5%.

The New Capitolian economy, worth 87.2 trillion aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 45,747 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Capitol's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

New Capitol is ranked 243,038^th in the world and 1^st in Jackson for Most Patriotic, with 6.59 flags saluted per person per day.
