The Presidential Monarchy of New Te Awa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Alex Verner with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 1.059 billion Awans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamilton. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Te Awan economy, worth 119 trillion Te Awa dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 112,906 Te Awa dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, private law firms are unheard of, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Te Awa's national animal is the Maūi dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

New Te Awa is ranked 289,577^th in the world and 4,495^th in the South Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 24.83 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
