The Perfect Nation of Newer Gehenna is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Doctor Sigmundus with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.211 billion Newer Gehennans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarnagar. The average income tax rate is 89.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Gehennian economy, worth an astonishing 14,635 trillion Creds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 518,781 Creds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
Schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, kids are exceptionally good at digging holes, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Newer Gehenna's national animal is the Puca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Teachings of Doctor Sigmundus.
Newer Gehenna is ranked 1,037th in the world and 14th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 4,709.70531912 days.
