The Democratic Republic of New Hesselwa is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Miriam Gentecine with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 15.787 billion New Hesselwans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sovyetlar. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Hesselwan economy, worth a remarkable 2,525 trillion Kroniyas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 159,983 Kroniyas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into New Hesselwan as 'your finger, you fool', the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and military officers are given medals for disobeying orders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Hesselwa's national animal is the Tuiuiu bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Hesselwa is ranked 12,812th in the world and 173rd in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,965.3517977296 days.
