The Kingdom of New Lewesia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 152 million New Lewesians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The New Lewesian economy, worth 7.24 trillion Lewesian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,642 Lewesian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, and religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Lewesia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Lewesia is ranked 69,571^st in the world and 1,428^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 110 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
