The Republic of New Fressia is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 62 million New Fressians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The powerhouse New Fressian economy, worth 4.35 trillion New Fressia Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 70,107 New Fressia Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,271 per year while the poor average 15,904, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

Dictionaries have tripled in size listing alternative spellings, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, genetic research is facing major headwinds, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Fressia's national animal is the White Pigeon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

New Fressia is ranked 94,689^th in the world and 1,494^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 62.79 on the Human Development Index.
