The Zairean Republic of New Provenance is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by The Legislative Council with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.205 billion New Provenants are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinshasa. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Provenant economy, worth 922 trillion Provenant marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,599 Provenant marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and the newest shade developed by New Provenance's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Provenance's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Patriotism.

New Provenance is ranked 7,519^th in the world and 15^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,664.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
