The Republic of New American Democracy is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Mason II with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.95 billion New Americans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Savannah Washington. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New American economy, worth 273 trillion NAD$s a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,024 NAD$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, heavily subsidised New American baskets litter the streets of Balder, and the libraries of New American Democracy are staffed by lone, lonely librarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New American Democracy's national animal is the Maltese, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New American Democracy is ranked 47,730^th in the world and 2,940^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
