The Republic of New Nanyang is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 56 million New Nanyangians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed.

The New Nanyangian economy, worth 3.21 trillion Nanyang dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 57,330 Nanyang dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
