The Republic of New Gunn is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Executive Council with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.281 billion Gunners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New Gunnic economy, worth 113 trillion Pebbles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 88,606 Pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and the ego of former emperors tend to match their stature. Crime is totally unknown. New Gunn's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Infinitism.

New Gunn is ranked 52,948^th in the world and 2^nd in Norp for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 67.48 Effective Tax Rate.
