The Republic of New Polennia is a tiny, cultured nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Dragon population. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10 million New Polennians 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 Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.8%.

The New Polennian economy, worth 591 billion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 59,100 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, exterminators swarm New Polennian homes, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Polennia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Polennia is ranked 110,257^th in the world and 366^th in Carcassonne for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,079.51 Standard Monetary Units.
