The Democratic States of New Villanova is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by ya motha with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.941 billion Villanovans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Villanovan economy, worth a remarkable 1,704 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,489 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany ya motha to meetings with foreign heads of state, and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime is totally unknown. New Villanova's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Villanova is ranked 115,202^nd in the world and 435^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 13.7 flags saluted per person per day.
