The Independent Vice-Filled City of New Venturas Strip is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mr Weston with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.598 billion gambling addicts enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Virgin Mary Casino. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Las Venturas Strip economy, worth 205 trillion eCola caps a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 57,143 eCola caps, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,434 per year while the poor average 3,525, a ratio of 105 to 1.

New Venturas Strip has designated The Virgin Mary Casino as its capital city, Mr Weston has just been declared ruler of New Venturas Strip in an international press conference, celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget, and literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Venturas Strip's national animal is the Securitron, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Venturas Strip is ranked 289,337^th in the world and 21^st in Calexico and Mexicali for Lowest Crime Rates, with 33.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
