The Deadly Nation of New Deathland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Grim Reaper with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.719 billion New Deathlandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Meathland. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Deathlandian economy, worth 871 trillion Lives 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 an impressive 152,303 Lives, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, workers' complaints never reach central planning, young people pass around flash drives filled with illegal music, and a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. New Deathland's national animal is the Devil Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reaperisam.

New Deathland is ranked 13,366^th in the world and 4^th in The Embassy for Most Patriotic, with 56.81 flags saluted per person per day.
