The United Socialist States of New Socialist Super State is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by HIPPO with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, compulsory vegetarianism, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.484 billion New Socialist Super Stateans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Hippo. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Socialist Super Statean economy, worth 429 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 123,242 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign invaders are putting New Socialist Super Statean lab rats out of a job, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the New Socialist Super Statean flag can be displayed, official Sermon-Free Zones are set-up around the nation's hotels, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Socialist Super State's national animal is the hippo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheist Yodlism.

New Socialist Super State is ranked 169,594^th in the world and 107^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 206 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
