The State of Newmarkette is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 17.479 billion Newmarketteans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The very strong Newmarkettean economy, worth a remarkable 1,098 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 62,837 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,377 per year while the poor average 17,819, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Newmarkette has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Newmarkette in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Newmarkette's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Newmarkette is ranked 147,854^th in the world and 8^th in Queensland for Most Primitive, scoring -52.92 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
