The Republic of Newit is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Nick with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, aversion to nipples, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 2.588 billion Newitians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nickin. The average income tax rate is 23.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Newitian economy, worth 456 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 176,451 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, glamping Newitians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and the government's approval ratings go down while its turnover rate goes up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Newit's national animal is the bald eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Newit is ranked 96,285^th in the world and 12^th in Antarctica for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,066.25 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
