The Kingdom of New Lewesia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.184 billion New Lewesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lewestown. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Lewesian economy, worth 647 trillion Lewesian Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,841 Lewesian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Lewesia's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Niceism.

New Lewesia is ranked 33,336^th in the world and 552^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 71,081.95 Standard Monetary Units.
