The Community of New Gaea is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 222 million New Gaeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Gaean economy, worth 12.8 trillion points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 57,532 points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls, extreme political groups are outlawed, homes without staircases are considered a step up in luxury, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Gaea's national animal is the Common Grackle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Gaea is ranked 95,296^th in the world and 1^st in The Empire of Enlightenment for Most Developed, scoring 62.93 on the Human Development Index.
