The Cīvitās of From New World is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Imperator Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.697 billion Cīvī are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Roma. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cīvem economy, worth a remarkable 4,268 trillion Sestertiuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 336,188 Sestertiuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public buses smell like litter boxes, the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, and good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. From New World's national animal is the toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Moha.

From New World is ranked 1,410^th in the world and 3^rd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cultured, scoring 314 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
