The Principality of Newark Isle is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Gregory ap Gruffydd with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.482 billion Newarkins are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Owen. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Newarkin economy, worth 534 trillion Arkdollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 71,427 Arkdollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Newark Isle's national animal is the Swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Newark Isle is ranked 74,297^th in the world and 27^th in Novo Brasil for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
