The Constitutional Monarchy of Factand New is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6 million Factand Newians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Factand Newian economy, worth 234 billion pounds a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,102 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Factand New's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Factand New is ranked 246,824^th in the world and 19^th in Theoretically Debatable for Most Developed, scoring 51.29 on the Human Development Index.
