The Kangaroo Worshippers of New Kangaroos is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Bruce with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.892 billion New Kangaroosians 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.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wie Ben Jis En Waroom Ben Je Hier. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Kangaroosian economy, worth 845 trillion New Kangaroo Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,892 New Kangaroo Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The children of New Kangaroos are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, King Bruce has just been declared ruler of New Kangaroos in an international press conference, and New Kangaroos has designated Wie Ben Jis En Waroom Ben Je Hier as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kangaroos's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Brucism.

New Kangaroos is ranked 265,470th in the world and 3rd in Avian worshipers of chicken overlords for Most Primitive, scoring -146.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
