The Gaulic Tribal Confederation of New Phalorm is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vergobret Druid Voraxgetorix with a fair hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 9.744 billion Gallo-Phandals love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallia Celtica Phandalinum. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Phalormian economy, worth 797 trillion Shins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 81,879 Shins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. New Phalorm's national animal is the Dire Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Death Cult of Voraxus Carnunnos.

New Phalorm is ranked 126,612th in the world and 2,623rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 269.60987606068 days.
