The Colony of New Cinder is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 2.522 billion New Cinderians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragon City. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Cinderian economy, worth 398 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 157,874 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, tourists are forbidden to enter Native New Cinderian lands, and tabloids coo over Leader's expected child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Cinder's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Cinder is ranked 200,156^th in the world and 301^st in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
