The Republic Independent City of Nova Danzig is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ernst von Hohenberg with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.524 billion Neo Danzigueses 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Danzig. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.6%.

The strong New Danziguês economy, worth 190 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,255 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 324,117 per year while the poor average 11,149, a ratio of 29.1 to 1.

Political detractors refer to Ernst von Hohenberg as 'that Bigtopian puppet', hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Danzig's national animal is the Sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Nova Danzig is ranked 103,752^nd in the world and 51^st in Union Brazilian for Smartest Citizens, with 35.96 quips per hour.
