The Great Technocratic Republic of Newgratia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Archaon Krivaanruth with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.424 billion Newgratians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iizstrun. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Newgratian economy, worth a remarkable 1,005 trillion Sygnias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 156,594 Sygnias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, billions of Sygnias are spent to take high-quality photos of the Wolf Nebula, politicians no longer click with dating app matches, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime is totally unknown. Newgratia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Newgratia is ranked 3,765^th in the world and 72^nd in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 134.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
