The Incorporated States of New Faldo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Klaus Weidenmann with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.212 billion New Faldoans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagofermo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient New Faldoan economy, worth 200 trillion schlecks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 165,699 schlecks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,507,271 per year while the poor average 2,073, a ratio of 727 to 1.

The government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. New Faldo's national animal is the boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Consumer Atheism.

New Faldo is ranked 327,378th in the world and 296th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -3.16 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
