The Republic of New NSL is a large, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 119 million New NSLians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.6%.

The strong New NSLian economy, worth 6.63 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,721 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,678 per year while the poor average 14,692, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Citizens are told that foreigners are hungry ghosts who eat the flesh of the overly curious, teenagers are making eye contact with each other for the first time in years, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and inheritance tax has recently been abolished. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. New NSL's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New NSL is ranked 173,862^nd in the world and 14^th in Nation states logic for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 946.77 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
