The United Marxist Republics of New Vonderland is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by General Secretary Santorska with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.217 billion Vonderlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windsreach. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Vonderlandian economy, worth 461 trillion Pezzes 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 major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 88,402 Pezzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, arms manufacturing has been put at an arm's length, calling dibs is an unalienable right, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vonderland's national animal is the Sky Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Tribunal.

New Vonderland is ranked 95,855^th in the world and 122^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,011.6 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
