The Commonwealth of New Virginian Confederacy is a large, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 171 million Virginians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Virginian economy, worth 11.1 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,988 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

It's never "just a game" with Virginian sports fans, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Virginian Confederacy's national animal is the Buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Virginian Confederacy is ranked 291,400^th in the world and 11^th in Neo Fractured Angel Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 53 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
