The Divine Empress of New New Atlantis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Divine Empress with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.94 billion New New Atlanteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newest Atlantis City. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient New New Atlantean economy, worth 650 trillion Petals 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 221,259 Petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New New Atlantis's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Empress Worship.

New New Atlantis is ranked 128,864th in the world and 91st in Hell for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,267.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
