The Kingdom of New Newville is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 378 million New Newvillans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Newvillean economy, worth 21.8 trillion SpacePesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 57,568 SpacePesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contestants on New Newville's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, and Maxtopian villagers starve by the time New Newvillean officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Newville's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Newville is ranked 46,533^rd in the world and 895^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 157.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
