The Armed Republic of New Caman is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 190 million New Camanians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient New Camanian economy, worth 8.32 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,783 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, and the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Caman's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Caman is ranked 75,145^th in the world and 656^th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 18.68 flags saluted per person per day.
