The Zombie Hunters of Almonaster Nuevo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alejandro de las Torres Altas with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 36.399 billion Nuevanos hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mizumigari. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nuevan economy, worth an astonishing 15,264 trillion fracts 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 amazing 419,370 fracts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, and there is something rotten in the state of Almonaster Nuevo. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Almonaster Nuevo's national animal is the loon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Almonaster Nuevo is ranked 279,424^th in the world and 136^th in Canada for Safest, scoring 5.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
