The Nordic Kingdom of New Sauthemptona is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Frederick Sohr with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.068 billion Sauthemptonans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kovshani. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sauthemptonan economy, worth 152 trillion Krovashrs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,517 Krovashrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, home renovation projects take decades to complete, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Frederick Sohr to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sauthemptona's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran.

New Sauthemptona is ranked 153,379th in the world and 2,140th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 380.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
