The Empire of Newfound American State is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 511 million Newfound American Stateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Purified DC. The average income tax rate is 28.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Newfound American Statean economy, worth 60.1 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,689 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, the nation's healthcare system has taken a "survival of the fittest" approach in administering care, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, and prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Newfound American State's national animal is the American Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Newfound American State is ranked 56,032^nd in the world and 1,697^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 133.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
