The Republic of New Densaner is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President George Appelby with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, parental licensing program, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.076 billion New Densanerians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Northwood Reef. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.1%.

The frighteningly efficient New Densanerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,099 trillion New Densaner Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 192,785 New Densaner Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 946,014 per year while the poor average 22,486, a ratio of 42.1 to 1.

President George Appelby lives life on the open road - complete with groupies, nose plugs are the latest New Densanerian fashion accessory, armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. New Densaner's national animal is the Stuffed Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Free Church of Densaner.

New Densaner is ranked 289,186^th in the world and 65^th in The Card Mine for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.44 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
