The Commonwealth of Neuerstaat is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Representatives of the Volksparlament with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.645 billion Neuerstaatliches are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wächterstadt. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neuerstaatian economy, worth 195 trillion Neuerstaater Glänzend Ǥs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,928 Neuerstaater Glänzend Ǥs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and movie producers send film critics wads of cash in their morning newspapers in anticipation of gushing praise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neuerstaat's national animal is the Cachalot Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Neuerstaat is ranked 9,207^th in the world and 12^th in The Hole To Hide In for Safest, scoring 122.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
