The Commonwealth of New Lakemba is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Committee with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 8.737 billion New Lakembans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canberra. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient New Lakemban economy, worth a remarkable 2,141 trillion New Lakembian Standard Kebabs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 245,061 New Lakembian Standard Kebabs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the sanitised and dull music festivals of New Lakemba are famed for their reasonable volume levels, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance". Crime is totally unknown. New Lakemba's national animal is the Animal Kingdom, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Lakemba is ranked 113,513^th in the world and 6,298^th in The North Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 35.67 on the Rand Index.
