The Emirate of New Ezden is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.922 billion New Ezdenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.1%.

The strong New Ezdenian economy, worth 253 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 42,861 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

People make a career out of medical voyeurism, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, tumbleweed drifts through the nation's shopping centres during the weekends, and former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. New Ezden's national animal is the lion.

New Ezden is ranked 70,095^th in the world and 2^nd in Newleaf for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,037.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
