The Republic of New Motatsia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 12.251 billion New Motatsians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bobos. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient New Motatsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,857 trillion Skas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 233,247 Skas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, and government officials across New Motatsia are being "encouraged" to adopt Bears to set an example for the populace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Motatsia's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Motatsia is ranked 45,041^st in the world and 80^th in United Kingdom for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,894.43 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
