The United Republic of New Veemaa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Valteri Nionius with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.7 billion New Veemaans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Veeburg City. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Veemaan economy, worth 460 trillion New Veemaan dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,971 New Veemaan dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried New Veemaan Wolf Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Veemaa's national animal is the New Veemaan wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Veemaa is ranked 253,590^th in the world and 523^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -163.22 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
