The United Degenerates of New Lizhou is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by KMB Jai 九巴仔 with a fair hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.516 billion New Lizhouans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Harbour 新港市. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient New Lizhouan economy, worth a remarkable 1,299 trillion Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 152,565 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across New Lizhou, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Lizhou's national animal is the Stray Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Lizhou is ranked 281,602nd in the world and 42nd in Underground Earth Facility for Most Patriotic, with 0.5 flags saluted per person per day.
