The Federal Union of Nueva Babilonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Bobilberth Díaz with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.971 billion Babilonians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Depito. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Neo-Babilonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,171 trillion Escudoes 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 48,878 Escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Police nightsticks see use all day long, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nueva Babilonia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Reich Church.

Nueva Babilonia is ranked 302,437th in the world and 27th in The Equator for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -8.6 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
