The German Kingdom of New Vorarlberg is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Taiga with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, infamous sell-swords, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.429 billion New Vorarlbergers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bregenz. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Vorarlbergian economy, worth 978 trillion Schillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 116,067 Schillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vorarlberg's national animal is the Palmtop Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Vorarlberg is ranked 18,958^th in the world and 87^th in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 24.5 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
