The Republic of Newit is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Nick with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 2.487 billion Newitians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nickin. The average income tax rate is 24.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Newitian economy, worth 431 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 173,435 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo, love means always having to say you're sorry, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, and people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Newit's national animal is the bald eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Newit is ranked 99,022^nd in the world and 13^th in Antarctica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,325.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
