The State of Nueva Concepcion is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Vacant with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.503 billion Centrals are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concepción. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Central economy, worth 653 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,766 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs, atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Vacant to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nueva Concepcion's national animal is the Hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Nueva Concepcion is ranked 226,503^rd in the world and 7^th in Arctica for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
