The Republic of New Misley is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 18.019 billion New Misleyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant New Misleyian economy, worth 238 trillion Diadems a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,212 Diadems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Misley's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Misley is ranked 286,645th in the world and 6th in The Red Fleet for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,214.68 Standard Monetary Units.
