The Commonwealth of New Lakemba is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Committee with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 8.382 billion New Lakembans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. 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 2,035 trillion New Lakembian Standard Kebabs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 242,872 New Lakembian Standard Kebabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in New Lakemba to be bombproof. 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 20,145^th in the world and 800^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,229.21 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
