The Allied States of Anewland is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 869 million Anewmen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newland. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Anewman economy, worth 82.0 trillion Lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 94,367 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Harpy Eagles that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage, motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, and mothers drive their college-graduate children to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anewland's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Anewland is ranked 64,070th in the world and 1,101st in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 94,367.3 Standard Monetary Units.
