The Dominion of New Leicestershire is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 35.76 billion New Leicestershireans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient New Leicestershirean economy, worth a remarkable 4,807 trillion NL Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 134,443 NL Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,143 per year while the poor average 37,624, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Guns are banned, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. New Leicestershire's national animal is the Osprey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Leicestershire is ranked 23,982^nd in the world and 1^st in Zhaucauozian Friendship for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,489.09 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
