The United Republic of New Veemaa is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Valteri Nionius with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.796 billion New Veemaans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Veeburg City. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Veemaan economy, worth 893 trillion New Veemaan dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,168 New Veemaan dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Veemaa's national animal is the New Veemaan wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Veemaa is ranked 195,612^th in the world and 136^th in 10000 Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 9.41 Obesity Rate.
