The Republic of New Consola is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by National Administrative Council with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.567 billion New Consolans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Consola Urbis. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Consolan economy, worth 255 trillion Consols a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,606 Consols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Consola's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pluralistic Agnosticism.

New Consola is ranked 292,281^st in the world and 582^nd in Communitas for Fattest Citizens, with 5.45 Obesity Rate.
