The Federal Republic of Nuevo Polanco is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 438 million Novo Polanquinos 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 Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sofía. The average income tax rate is 27.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nuevo Polancoan economy, worth 48.4 trillion Oaks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 110,535 Oaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, board shorts have replaced board rooms, murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, and exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuevo Polanco's national animal is the prairie dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nuevo Polanco is ranked 184,206^th in the world and 736^th in Europe for Most Armed, with 0.24 Weapons Per Person.
