The Kingdom of New Basconia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Phillipo de Borbón with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.786 billion Vascoes are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vitoria-Gasteiz. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The frighteningly efficient New Basconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,439 trillion Binomoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,110 Binomoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

No personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, it's a jungle out there, and King Phillipo de Borbón's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Basconia's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The State.

New Basconia is ranked 22,858^th in the world and 3^rd in Alesia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,091.77 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
