The Republic of New Consola is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by National Administrative Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.729 billion New Consolans 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Consola Urbis. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Consolan economy, worth 283 trillion Consols a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,862 Consols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", National Administrative Council's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Consola's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pluralistic Agnosticism.

New Consola is ranked 8,788^th in the world and 12^th in Communitas for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,067.04 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
