The Republic of New Nanyang is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Tan with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.783 billion New Nanyians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nanyang City. The average income tax rate is 82.3%.

The frighteningly efficient New Nanyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 trillion Nanyang dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 215,413 Nanyang dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Nanyang's national animal is the Nanyang Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Nanyang is ranked 116,907^th in the world and 1,674^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,271.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
