The Viceroyalty of New Chandigarh is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Viceroy Syrio Refa with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 32.59 billion New Chandigaris are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Indraprastha. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The strong New Chandigari economy, worth a remarkable 2,225 trillion New Chandigari rupees a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 68,282 New Chandigari rupees, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,070 per year while the poor average 8,341, a ratio of 39.2 to 1.

No one is quite sure what many government officials look like, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. New Chandigarh's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hinduism.

New Chandigarh is ranked 296,321^st in the world and 75^th in India for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
