The Imperial Democratic States of Newam is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Kakoni with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.755 billion Newamians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pearl city. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Newamian economy, worth 355 trillion Bit Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 128,974 Bit Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, the nation's reinforced coffee tables are constructed to survive an atomic blast, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, and Tourism facilities are being turned into Parrot habitats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Newam's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Word Of God.

Newam is ranked 86,988^th in the world and 3,987^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 59.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
