The Empire of Newfound American State is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 423 million Newfound American Stateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Purified DC. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Newfound American Statean economy, worth 51.1 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,831 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

The news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, the nation's healthcare system has taken a "survival of the fittest" approach in administering care, and the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Newfound American State's national animal is the American Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Newfound American State is ranked 25,574^th in the world and 975^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,607.78 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
