The Deadly Nation of New Deathland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Grim Reaper with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.743 billion New Deathlandians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Meathland. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Deathlandian economy, worth 886 trillion Lives 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 an impressive 154,377 Lives, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, and the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Grim Reaper in ermine and velvet garb. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. New Deathland's national animal is the Devil Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reaperism.

New Deathland is ranked 81,396^th in the world and 17^th in The Embassy for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 97.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
