The National Meritocratic State of New Fildea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Michael Hartz with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.28 billion Neofildeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newbein. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Neofildean economy, worth 203 trillion mances a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,003 mances, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Fildea's national animal is the Blonde Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianism.

New Fildea is ranked 188,239^th in the world and 138^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 24.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
