The National Meritocratic State of New Fildea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Michael Hartz with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.355 billion Neofildeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newbein. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neofildean economy, worth 219 trillion mances a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,275 mances, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities, aides are afraid to ask if Michael Hartz wants a cup of tea or coffee, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Fildea's national animal is the Blonde Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianism.

New Fildea is ranked 18,410^th in the world and 58^th in Fifth Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,527.71 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
