The Federation of New Dalomia is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 904 million New Dalomians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Industry, Public Transport, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The thriving New Dalomian economy, worth 72.6 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 80,304 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,225 per year while the poor average 19,576, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

New Dalomia's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
