The Armed Republic of New Centurion is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Darth Vader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.959 billion New Centurionians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Death Star. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient New Centurionian economy, worth a remarkable 8,405 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 648,643 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,388,672 per year while the poor average 124,421, a ratio of 19.2 to 1.

Darth Vader's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Death Star's playgrounds, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Centurion's national animal is the Mouse Droid, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Centurion is ranked 2,102nd in the world and 64th in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 13,140.58 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
