The Dominion of New Sanet is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Polydorus with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.481 billion New Sanetians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Nysa. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient New Sanetian economy, worth 540 trillion Thyrsuses 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 155,219 Thyrsuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People make a career out of medical voyeurism, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, and sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls. Crime is totally unknown. New Sanet's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Sanet is ranked 5,566^th in the world and 160^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 140,632.83 Standard Monetary Units.
