The Peoples Republic of New United Common-lands is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jezza Corbyn with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.626 billion Commoners 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascension City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Common-lands economy, worth a remarkable 2,656 trillion Common Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 307,950 Common Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New United Common-lands's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Common Yodlism.

New United Common-lands is ranked 1,980^th in the world and 2^nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 15,555.86 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
