The Kingdom of New Lewesia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.174 billion New Lewesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lewestown. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Lewesian economy, worth 643 trillion Lewesian Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,403 Lewesian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is avowedly secular, farting etiquette is taught in schools, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the freedom to be free is always just out of reach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Lewesia's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Niceism.

New Lewesia is ranked 292,332^nd in the world and 3,933^rd in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 5.47 Obesity Rate.
