The Federation of New Gehenna is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Consul Frost Carbon with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 20.789 billion New Gehennans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wertfort. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Gehennan economy, worth a remarkable 2,883 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,720 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New Gehenna's national animal is the Spinosaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
