The State of Nua Dalriada is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.559 billion Nua Dalriadans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Social Policy and Spirituality not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The powerhouse Nua Dalriadan economy, worth a remarkable 2,269 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 60,417 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,157 per year while the poor average 7,740, a ratio of 36.5 to 1.

City workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nua Dalriada's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nua Dalriada is ranked 289,093^rd in the world and 650^th in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 33.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
