The Dictatorship of New Rismst is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 256 million New Rismstians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient New Rismstian economy, worth 9.95 trillion kronor 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 38,855 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, all guns must be registered, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Rismst's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Rismst is ranked 43,444^th in the world and 28^th in Talonia for Most Patriotic, with 30.54 flags saluted per person per day.
