The Free Land of New Gadsdenia is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 267 million New Gadsdenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.3%.

The powerhouse New Gadsdenian economy, worth 23.4 trillion Gold Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 87,659 Gold Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 395,482 per year while the poor average 11,962, a ratio of 33.1 to 1.

Politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', New Gadsdenia recently decided against having a capital city, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and playing card suits are sold separately. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Gadsdenia's national animal is the Rattlesnek, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Gadsdenia is ranked 314,634^th in the world and 606^th in The UMNS for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -10.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
