The United Provinces of New Bacon is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by TBD with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 11.827 billion Novalites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Columbia. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novalite economy, worth a remarkable 1,641 trillion New Bacon Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,792 New Bacon Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, a rusted hulk in District of Columbia harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in The Mystical Alliance, arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Bacon's national animal is the Swift, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Bacon is ranked 2,833^rd in the world and 1^st in The Mystical Alliance for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 31 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
